In 1903, a mysterious, desperate woman flees alone across the West, one quick step ahead of the law. She has just become a widow by her own hand. Two vengeful brothers and a pack of bloodhounds track her across the wilderness. She is nineteen years old and half mad.

Gil Adamson’s extraordinary award-winning novel opens in heart-pounding mid-flight and propels the reader through a gripping road trip with a twist — the steely outlaw in this story is a grief-stricken young woman. Along the way she encounters characters of all stripes — unsavoury, wheedling, greedy, lascivious, self-reliant, and occasionally generous and trustworthy. Part historical novel, part Gothic tale, and part literary Western, The Outlander is an original and unforgettable read, now available in a new edition to coincide with the release of the long-awaited follow-up, Ridgerunner.

Gil Adamson cites as her influences Michael Ondaatje, Raymond Carver, Richard Ford, and Mark Richard. Her acclaimed short fiction has been widely published in magazines and literary journals, and her collection of stories received rave reviews. The Outlander, ten years in the writing, was her first novel and has been published in many editions around the world. Adamson lives in Toronto, Canada.

SABRYN ROCK is an actor and singer originally from Regina, Saskatchewan. She has performed all over Canada with companies like the Stratford Festival, Soulpepper, Alberta Theatre Projects, Obsidian Theatre, and The Musical Stage Company. Sabryn also has appeared in several television shows and films. She loves to read (especially out loud) and has narrated seven audiobooks. She is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre, and the Actors’ Conservatory at the Canadian Film Centre.

Reviews

[A] compelling debut … Lean prose, full-bodied characterization, memorable settings and scenes of hardship all lift this book above the pack. This remarkable novel opens at full gallop and never slows. Adamson has seamlessly merged a compelling narrative with poetic language to create a work that is full of beauty and heart and wonder.
