About this title

Review:

Praise for The Outlander:

'A remarkable first novel, full of verve, beautifully written, and with all the panache of a great adventure'

(Michael Ondaatje)

'From the outset, this atmospheric debut has a palpable air of menace ... With the breathless pace of an old-fashioned adventure story, and a supporting cast of mavericks, eccentrics and outcasts, this rich novel is packed full of drama' (Daily Mail)

'A superb adventure story' (Kate Saunders, The Times)

'Striking, thoughtful, full of unexpected twists, The Outlander is that rare delight: a novel that is beautifully written yet as gripping as any airport page-turner ... there are echoes of Cormac McCarthy. Hugely enjoyable ... A rattling good yarn' (Guardian)
