Thank you, Patrick O'Dowd, for this wonderful review of my debut novel!

Janice Kidd brings the untamed wilderness of the Adirondack Foothills to life in A Tea-Dark Bearing, a novel as rich and layered as the landscape it inhabits. The novel pulses with tension—between husband and wife, freedom and captivity, the natural world and the men trying to tame it. Kidd’s writing is immersive, her characters vivid, and the story unfolds with a quiet, haunting power. Georgie and Black Vy’s journey is harrowing and deeply human, and the novel lingers long after the final page. An atmospheric, beautifully written historical novel that deserves to be widely read.

My novel A TEA-DARK BEARING is set in Utica, New York, 250 years ago, a time when the Mohawk River was the main mode of transport.

When the woods were wild. When the few shacks were unmapped. When, if you didn’t know a route out, you were never going to get out.

Unless, like my heroines, you had to.
