Summary

Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner have settled into their life together at the edge of the New-York wilderness in the winter of 1794. But soon after Elizabeth gives birth to healthy twins, Nathaniel learns that his father has been arrested in British Canada. Forced to leave Hidden Wolf Mountain to help his father in Montreal, Nathaniel himself is imprisoned and in danger of being hanged as a spy.

In a desperate bid to save her husband, Elizabeth bundles her infants and sets out through the snowy wilderness and across treacherous waterways on the dangerous trek to Canada. But she soon discovers that freeing her husband will take every ounce of her courage and inventiveness - and will threaten her with the loss of what she loves most: her children.

Torn apart, the Bonners must embark on yet another perilous voyage, this time all the way across the ocean to the heart of Scotland, where a destiny they could never have imagined awaits them....

Thoroughly enjoyed

Good plot, narrative and characterisation. Very good performance interpretation. The various accents easily identifiable. Looking to read the third installment now.

Wonderful.

Just got to the end and I’ve already downloaded the next! The narrator is superb - her range of accents and voices make it so easy to follow the story. The book itself is a wonderful tale of adventure, love, sorrow and life itself. I’m so glad I’ve still got a few left to continue immersing myself in this world.

very good narrator

My favourite of these novels are the ones set at Lake in the Clouds, but this is a rattling good story that has kept me going through all twists and turns. Lots of interesting characters. Great narration.
