Description:
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 traveled 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.
Wow...it's been a whole month since I've written anything! This was probably the longest book I've ever read...AND they keep getting longer! Hopefully I'll get through the next one in this series in a more timely manner. Whew!
Anyway...this book was good, but not my favorite so far. It took me forever to read, but it is summer after all. I still love this series as a whole, and I plan on sticking it out to the end. I've heard that the next one is really good, and I can't wait to start reading it. I need a break first. This book (if you have been reading these) takes Claire back to Scotland after 20 years in the present time. She finds out that Jamie is still alive, so she takes a chance and goes back again. She leaves her now 20 year old daughter back in the present, so I wonder if something will come of that later. I guess I'll have to wait and see. It kinda bothered me that she goes back to Scotland in the first third of the book, instead of towards the end. Her trip back starts off a whole new journey again, but it felt strange having that story half-way through. Anyway, a good book.
