View from afar : Midwife of the Blue Ridge
I picked this book up because I have several times heard it compared to Diane Gabaldon's Outlander series. And it is true that there are many similiarities. The heroine is a healer who lives in the latter part of the 1700's (no time travel). She is originally from Scotland and makes her home in the frontier of colonial America. Like Gabaldon's books there is also plenty of rape, disturbingly illustrated torture, normal mayhem, and other details of colonial life.
However if I am to continue the comparison, Blevin's book is a bland imitation of Gabaldon.
The writing style itself is not very interesting. At times it felt clunky.
The story pretty much hits every cliche possible. The heroine is pursued by an evil british lord who wants to rape her. She is also pursued by a white man turned American Indian - he appears to want a exiguous more than rape, although he goes there as well. There are population with missing scalps, lumbering idiots, friendships with kindly slaves, land that must be saved from the evil overlord, etc., etc.
The real question is that there isn't whatever new or surprising in the story. From beginning to end I could pretty much predict what was going to happen. And then it did.
So while this isn't necessarily a badly written or badly told story, it also has nothing to make it stand out as particularly interesting.
