I love historical fiction done well, especially with fierce women at the center, and this novel of the American wilderness, aka Stolen Land, in the late 1700s was really compelling and engrossing. I'm also grateful that Donati seems to have done her homework as far as the indigenous people and their oppression so that I was cringing at the bigoted a-holes who inevitably do populate the story, but was relieved by the inclusive attitudes of the main characters.

This does remind me of Outlander as far as its epic proportions and detailed tale of the lives of a handful of characters, and of course, the sex scenes are also similar. If you don't like Outlander, I doubt you would like this book. I'll be reading more of this series as it's an excellent escape from Shitshow 2020.
