Sara Donati writes historical fiction centred on families, migration, medicine and cultural contact in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century North America. Into the Wilderness begins a long series with Elizabeth Middleton, an Englishwoman who arrives in the New York frontier and becomes connected with Nathaniel Bonner, a man whose family ties cross settler and Native communities. The sequence follows later generations through war, travel and changing political boundaries. The Gilded Hour moves the family line into 1880s New York, where women doctors Anna and Sophie Savard work among immigrants and poor patients while navigating social and legal limits on women's lives. Donati's novels are long, detailed and character-led, combining romance with substantial historical settings. Into the Wilderness is the essential entry for frontier family saga readers; The Gilded Hour offers a later urban setting with stronger emphasis on medicine and public health. Read more Less
