First Line: "When I was small, I never wanted to step in puddles."
"From the author of the breathtaking bestsellers Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, the extraordinary saga continues.
Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had travelled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.
Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her... the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite or forever doom her timeless love."
My Rating: 4/5
So I started out in this really enjoying where we were going. The story made sense, everybody was having a good time. But then there were some dicey things said. Some characters were just portrayed in problematic ways, and some of the conversations just weren't what I wanted them to be... but then I had to remember when this was set, and when it was published. 1993 wasn't exactly known for PC culture, which is a damn shame. I think that the plot itself was still interesting and kept me reading, but the other factors threw me off enough that it took me a long time to finish. I hope to continue the series within the next year, but due to life stuff, I need to read some smaller books for the next little while.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
