NOW THE STARZ ORIGINAL SERIES OUTLANDER With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander.
DRAGONFLY IN AMBER
For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland’s mist-shrouded Highlands.
Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
Claire’s spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
Praise for Dragonfly in Amber
“Diana Gabaldon is a born storyteller. . . . The pages practically turn themselves.”—The Arizona Republic
“A triumph! A powerful tale layered in history and myth. I loved every page.”—Nora Roberts
The adventure continues! I loved how this started with Clare and Brianna in Scotland in 1968, and how Clare knew who she needed to contact to get some help to figure out what had happened with all her friends and family after she left the Highlands in 1745 and came back to her own time, and to Frank.
Brianna must have brought her so much happines, and at the same time so much pain, since she looks so much like Jamie!
The story-telling continued to be wonderful, and I was amazed by the details, both of what Clare told Bree, and the side-story with what happened with Jamie in 'his' time. He had a hard time with it all, living in that cave for seven years, and then, using himself to save his family once more.
I was so afraid for him when Geneva tricked him into sleeping with her, and the subsequent arrival of William - such irony with that name as well, as it was the name of his older brother.
Almost meeting Geilis in 1968 was scary, she really was a witch, no matter what time she was in.
This series is so wonderfully written, the characters all have flaws, but continue to grow, and change. And they are all still very much loveable, at least they are to me.
