![]() A rollicking adventure, a surprising love story, and a social commentary in the vein of The Handmaid’s Tale, this novel is full of both nuance and extraordinary compassion. Having learned holistic medicine from her mother, Ada becomes the Gang’s de facto doctor and assists with small robberies and wagon heists as she proves herself.īut petty theft is just the beginning of the Gang’s far-reaching, not to mention dangerous, plans. ![]() Turns out, the most fearsome outlaws this side of the Mississippi are just like her-women and nonbinary people ostracized for being “barren,” gender-nonconforming, or witches. If dressing like it’s 1894 doesn’t feel like your thing, I would note that, having finished this book in two sittings, I feel confident calling it a Western for people who don’t usually read Westerns.Īccused of witchcraft when she can’t conceive a child, Ada must choose: face a witch trial and risk being hanged, or join the Hole in the Wall Gang and become an outlaw. Think prairie dresses, herbal remedies, and women homesteading on the American frontier. ![]() ![]() Featuring an irresistibly no-nonsense, courageous, and determined heroine, Outlawed dusts off the myth of the old West and reignites the glimmering promise of the frontier with an entirely new set of feminist stakes. Anna North’s latest book is cottagecore in novel form. Visual indication that the title is an audiobook. ![]()
