Writers' Trust Fiction Prize Winner Scotiabank Giller Prize
Finalist Part literary Western and part historical mystery,
Writers' Trust Fiction Prize winner Ridgerunner is now available as
a paperback. November 1917. William Moreland is in mid-flight.
After nearly twenty years, the notorious thief, known as the
Ridgerunner, has returned. Moving through the Rocky Mountains and
across the border to Montana, the solitary drifter, impoverished in
means and aged beyond his years, is also a widower and a father.
And he is determined to steal enough money to secure his son's
future. Twelve-year-old Jack Boulton has been left in the care of
Sister Beatrice, a formidable nun who keeps him in cloistered
seclusion in her grand old house. Though he knows his father is
coming for him, the boy longs to return to his family's cabin, deep
in the woods. When Jack finally breaks free, he takes with him
something the nun is determined to get back -- at any cost. Set
against the backdrop of a distant war raging in Europe and a
rapidly changing landscape in the West, Gil Adamson's follow-up to
her award-winning debut, The Outlander, is a vivid historical novel
that draws from the epic tradition and a literary Western brimming
with a cast of unforgettable characters touched with humour and
loss, and steeped in the wild of the natural world.
