INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB
PICK MAJOR TV ADAPTATION IN DEVELOPMENT BY AMY ADAMS 'Calling it
The Handmaid's Tale crossed with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
goes some way to describe this novel's memorable world, but it is
also wholly its own' KIRKUS '2021 is already a year that could use
a little joy. Here to provide some is Outlawed . . . It's an
absolute romp and contains basically everything I want in a book:
witchy nuns, heists, a marriage of convenience, and a midwife
trying to build a bomb out of horse dung' Vox 'Outlawed sets a high
bar for the 12 months of publishing still to come . . . It upends
the tropes of the traditionally macho and heteronormative genre
while also being a rip-snortin' good read, too' THE WEEK (Most
Anticipated Books of the Year) 'North is a riveting storyteller . .
. Reader, you are in for a real treat' JENNY ZHANG 'Fans of
Margaret Atwood and Cormac McCarthy finally get the Western they
deserve' ALEXIS COE 'A thrilling tale eerily familiar but utterly
transformed ... In North's galloping prose, it's a fantastically
cinematic adventure that turns the sexual politics of the Old West
inside out' WASHINGTON POST 'A western unlike any other, Outlawed
features queer cowgirls, gender nonconforming robbers and a band of
feminists that fight against the grain for autonomy, agency and the
power to define their own worth' MS. 'A grand, unforgettable tale'
ESME WEIJUN WANG In the year of our Lord 1894, I became an outlaw.
On the day of her wedding-dance, Ada feels lucky. She loves her
broad-shouldered, bashful husband and her job as an apprentice
midwife. But her luck will not last. It is every woman's duty to
have a child, to replace those that were lost in the Great Flu. And
after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a town where barren
women are hanged as witches, Ada's survival depends on leaving
behind everything she knows. She joins up with the notorious Hole
in the Wall Gang. Its leader, a charismatic preacher-turned-robber,
known to all as The Kid, wants to create a safe haven for women
outcast from society. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang
hatches a treacherous plan. And Ada must decide whether she's
willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of
future for them all.
