I knew it wouldn't be a romance, despite the very romancey cover, but the book still disappointed me. The writing style is very distant and cold, and the characterizations are very thin and herky-jerky. I was never able to get a bead on either Sarah or her Indian lover. The other secondary characters were flat and two-dimensional at most. The geography was very vague which annoyed me (I'm a local), and overall I was left unsatisfied. The best way I can describe this book is, "Things were doing things." Very emotionally uninvolving.
A young woman named Sarah Wells is kidnapped by Abnaki Indians from her New Hampshire farm during the French and Indian wars.
Sarah Wells is only seventeen when she is violently abducted by marauding Indians and taken to live as a slave amidst the savage splendor of a proud race. This is the story of her torment and captivity and untimately, of her love.
