More About This Title Shaman

English

Dr. Robert Judson Cole travels from his ravaged Scotland homeland, through the operating rooms of Boston, to the cabins of frontier Illinois and the war-torn fields of Gettysburg. This second book of the Cole trilogy, a New York Times "Notable Book," was declared "Best Historical Novel of 1991/1992" by the Society of American Historians, which awarded Noah Gordon the first James Fenimore Cooper Prize.

English

Noah Gordon has had outstanding international success and his eight novels have been read by millions in thirty-five countries. The Physician, now a major motion picture, has been called a modern classic, and booksellers at the Madrid Book Fair voted it “one of the 10 best-loved books of all time.” Shaman was awarded the James Fenimore Cooper Prize for historical fiction. He lives outside of Boston with his wife, Lorraine Gordon.
