The "terrifying, wise, tender, and thrilling" (R.O. Kwon) adventure story of a fugitive girl, a mysterious gang of robbers, and their dangerous mission to transform the Wild West.

In the year of our Lord 1894, I became an outlaw.

The day of her wedding, 17 year old Ada's life looks good; she loves her husband, and she loves working as an apprentice to her mother, a respected midwife. But after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a town where barren women are routinely hanged as witches, her survival depends on leaving behind everything she knows.

She joins up with the notorious Hole in the Wall Gang, a band of outlaws led by a preacher-turned-robber known to all as the Kid. Charismatic, grandiose, and mercurial, the Kid is determined to create a safe haven for outcast women. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang hatches a treacherous plan that may get them all killed. And Ada must decide whether she's willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for them all.

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 has crafted a pulse-racing, page-turning saga about the search for hope in the wake of death, and for truth in a climate of small-mindedness and fear.

    Ich bin so froh, dass mir dieses Buch, als Tipp vorgeschlagen wurde. Denn vermutlich hätte ich sonst niemals, aufgrund des Covers, zu diesem Buch gegriffen. Es ist zumindest mal etwas ganz anderes, als das was ich sonst so lese. Die Story spielt Anno 1894 im wilden Westen und hat mich total überrascht. Ich mochte Ada und ihre Wissbegierde. Ohne großes Vorwissen um diese Story, bin ich abgetaucht und hatte das Gefühl ich wäre auch ein Cowgirl und Teil der Hole in the wall Gang. Es gab an der ein oder anderem Stelle zwar ein paar kleiner Längen, die mich aber ganzheitlich betrachtet nicht gestört haben.

    Solide Geschichte, die leider ein bisschen ihr Potential verspielt 💔

    Das ist natürlich nur meine Leseerfahrung. Aber für mich hatte das Buch eine super Basis, aus der man auf mehr Seiten als den vorhandenen eine fantastische Geschichte hätte spinnen können. So war es ein solides aber kompaktes Buch. Trotzdem empfehlenswert. 🤔

    Yeah, I was very excited when I read the plot of this book. Once in a while I love to watch a good western movie. Haven’t read many of them so far tho. So a book about a girl that becomes an outlaw, joins a gang and tries to find a place for her in this world? Count me in I thought! But I don’t know…it was very hard for me to relate in any kind of way with Ada. Even worse, I found it hard to relate with any of their gang members. I did not even like them a lot…and cannot specify why. Maybe that’s it just sometimes with books? SPOILER ahead! Then we have the big plan! The big robbery - the plan to build this new city! The promised land! What was that?
