Publisher's summary

Available for the first time as an audiobook in this original Outlander novella, Diana Gabaldon reveals what really happened to Roger MacKenzie Wakefield’s parents. Orphaned during World War II, Roger believed that his mother died during the London Blitz, and that his father, an RAF pilot, was killed in combat. But in An Echo in the Bone, Roger discovers that this may not be the whole story. Now, in "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows," readers finally learn the truth.

Featured Article: Claire Fraser—An Outlander Character Guide


Claire Fraser is the central character, first-person narrator, and driving force of Diana Gabaldon's epic Outlander series. As ambitious and enormous as the world of Outlander is, it’s the characters and their relationships that make the story so compelling. At its heart is the love shared between Claire and Jamie, two people who ultimately would not let time or distance—even hundreds of years—keep them apart.

Just OK

For me to transition from the elaborate work in the books to this novella wasn't too practical. I enjoyed the books so much and wanted so much more than this delivered.

Loved the little side story

It was a nice surprise to find this story but the reader lacked animation in his voice and so I didn't enjoy as much.

Disappointed

Very disappointed in the short length; the usual character development, historical richness, and in-depth story telling were missing. I have read much of Diana's work and this falls short. Most disappointing wasI paid a full credit on Audible and feel short changed.

Good backstory on the fate of Roger's parents

Closure on Roger's parents and their fate. Especially happy to hear that Roger was wrong and that Jerry did make it back, if only for a brief time. Glad that Jeremiah and Marjorie, or as they called each other, Jerry and Dottie were united at the end.
This narrator was good but I missed Divina Porter, probably because I'm so used to her being the voice of Outlander.

Nice quick listen waiting for next installment

Read by a male voice with a convincing accent, this is a terrific short read to update Outlander fans on the events around Roger MacKenzie's story. Good entertainment while waiting for Diana Gabaldon to offer up the next installment in the Outlander series

Oh! Roger’s dad!

Short and sweet. I love how this book fills in a few blanks about Rogers’s mom and dad. Every time I read a book from Diana Gabaldon I ache for more.

Unnecessary but well written

Obviously Gabaldon is an incredible writer who knows how to tell a story. I'm just not sure that this one added anything to the narrative other than that he actually did make it back.

Short and engaging

I’ve only read the first book but wanted something short and this did not disappoint.
