The Company of Gentlewoman Adventurers

This sequel to Atkinson's first novel [River Under Rain, also available on Amazon] expands on its central characters (the Runner, the Wiz) and adds new ones - Hope, a young nurse, and Annette, her old companion. The setting of River Under Rain was the Fraser River; the setting of this book is the Coast Mountains above Vancouver. Hope is a young woman with degrees in modern poetry and geriatric nursing - but no professional prospects beyond caring for a querulous old woman. Then one day she meets an artist, and her life changes. Wise and engaging fiction from an award-winning author.
