Recenzii

Women are the focus for Beth Lewis's absorbing novel... Conjures up the brutal realities of the 1898 gold rush in a compelling narrative
A rip-roaring adventure that's rich with drama and gutsy plotlines
Transports the reader to a lawless wilderness. Escapism is provided in spades as Lewis expertly spins a historical tale of adventure and intrigue
Plunges the reader into a lawless wilderness... It pulsates with intrigue, and Lewis holds us rapt from page one in a riveting read for armchair adventurers. Pure gold
A real rootin' tootin' treat; a heady brew of moonshine noir replete with dialogue and descriptors that are as hard as flint
An extraordinary, compelling novel that gives voice to the women who created a landscape, we devoured this in one day
Lewis captures the harshness of Yukon, as greed for land and gold runs amok... A beautifully written, suspense-filled piece of historical fiction to rival The Revenant or The Tenderness Of Wolves
A fierce and haunting tale of women who refuse to be forgotten. The Rush shimmers with danger and heart, and had me in its thrall
Powerful and beautifully told. The paths of three women intertwine as they battle for survival at the frontier of Canada's gold rush. Beth Lewis captures the savage beauty of this natural landscape, as well as the men's feverish race to strike it rich or die trying - but most importantly, she gives a voice to the women, whose near-forgotten life stories glisten with hidden gold. Brilliant writing: essential reading
Lewis flawlessly recreates the savage beauty of the wilds - and the lives of those beholden to the exhilarating lawlessness of gold fever. A bold and brilliant novel
Perfectly captures that dangerous combination of chaos and desperation, and the three women's interlocking stories and their resilience and vulnerability were so well written
A wicked combination of spellbinding storytelling and a captivating plot that will capture the heart of any reader. The Rush is my top read of this year
Compelling and clever. Beth Lewis strikes gold in her murderous tale of three women involved in the Canadian gold rush
Stirring, evocative, spellbinding. The Rush is storytelling at its solid gold best
An expansive and gloriously thrilling book told with such authenticity. Beth Lewis employs a rich palette to immerse the reader in the lives of the Klondike women. Masterful storytelling
