  <default_description>Weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction, Sara Donati's epic novel sweeps us into another time and place...and into the heart of a forbidden affair between an unconventional Englishwoman and an American frontiersman.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is December of 1792. Elizabeth Middleton leaves her comfortable English estate to join her family in a remote New York mountain village. It is a place unlike any she has ever experienced.&#160;&#160;And she meets a man unlike any she has ever encountered--a white man dressed like a Native American, Nathaniel Bonner, known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives. Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village, she soon finds herself locked in conflict with the local slave owners as well as her own family.  Interweaving the fate of the Mohawk Nation with the destiny of two lovers, Sara Donati's compelling novel creates a complex, profound, passionate portrait of an emerging America.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was nothing more than a guilty pleasure reading.  Being the first in a series of five so far, the story line takes up from Last of the Mohicans and revolves around Nathaniel (Hawkeye and Cora's son) who is now in his early-mid thirties.  He falls in love with Elizabeth Middleton, recently havin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26259511">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book.  It was a historical adventure/romance that never failed to satisfy.  The best part was that it didn't follow the typical romance formula and have Elizabeth and Nathaniel have some sort of &quot;misunderstanding&quot; and break up, so Elizabeth can get together with someone else a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58321075">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a wild card.  I knew nothing about the author, but something about the book captured my attention at the bookstore and I'm so grateful.  It took my breath away with its adventure and romance.  I couldn't put it down and fell completely in love with the characters.  I was feeling very m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69000039">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another long and thick booked series I got sucked into...but I like it. I think I liked this earliest book better than the later ones in the series. But...it was this series I thought of when in Montreal, as one of the books has significant action there.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book--you know it could fall into my three and a half stars category.  It is a historical, fiction, romance.  If you read those books for the history be warned that this book is long on the romance and a little short on history.  That said it is a fun and entertaining book.  A great one...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54318769">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderful characters.  Do not compare to Galabdon, this book series stands on its own.  Great historical details.  Loved the first book in the series the best but all are very good.  Many different story lines, always brought together in the end.  Difficult for most writers to do (some don't) - Dona...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47776013">more...</a>]]></body>
