It’s locked at all times.
Because when the trunk opens, people around Adelaide start to disappear.
The year is 1915, and Adelaide is in trouble.
Her secret sin killed her parents, forcing her to flee California in a hellfire rush and make her way to Montana as a homesteader.
Dragging the trunk with her at every stop, she will become one of the “lone women” taking advantage of the government’s offer of free land for those who can tame it–except that Adelaide isn’t alone.
And the secret she’s tried so desperately to lock away might be the only thing that will help her survive the harsh territory.
Crafted by a modern master of magical suspense, Lone Women blends shimmering prose, an unforgettable cast of adventurers who find horror and sisterhood in a brutal landscape, and a portrait of early-twentieth-century America like you’ve never seen.
And at its heart is the gripping story of a woman desperate to bury her past–or redeem it.

它始终处于锁定状态。
因为当后备箱打开时,阿德莱德周围的人就开始消失了。
这一年是 1915 年,阿德莱德陷入困境。
她的秘密罪行杀死了她的父母,迫使她在地狱般的火海中逃离加利福尼亚,前往蒙大拿州成为一名自耕农。
在每一站都拖着行李箱,她将成为“孤独的女人”之一,利用政府为那些可以驯服它的人提供的免费土地——除了阿德莱德并不孤单。
而她拼命想要隐藏的秘密可能是唯一能帮助她在这片严酷地区生存下来的东西。
由现代魔法悬疑大师精心打造,《孤独的女人》融合了闪闪发光的散文、令人难忘的冒险家阵容,他们在残酷的风景中发现恐怖和姐妹情谊,以及一幅你从未见过的 20 世纪初美国的肖像。
它的核心是一个女人绝望地埋葬她的过去——或救赎它的扣人心弦的故事。
