Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now the sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel. Still longing to know the fate of her beloved warrior, she recounts the story of her stay with him in the intrigue-ridden court of Charles Stuart and their attempt to avert the doomed Highlands uprising at Culloden. As her story unfolds, it reveals implications more far-reaching than even Claire could have guessed.

Narrator Davina Porter's gift for expression captures the history and flavor of a harsh place and time, and gives it the polish of a warm and engaging love story.

Featured Article: The Best Women Narrators to Listen to Right Now


One of the biggest questions listeners have when it comes to approaching a new audiobook is whether or not they'll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable, as audiobooks are at least a few hours long (with many clocking in at 20 hours long—or more!), and sticking with one person's voice for that time period can feel like a big commitment. We rounded up some of the best female narrators with a robust list of audiobooks under their belts.

Love it. LOVE it.

I am a huge fan of the Outlander series, and have to say I don't think any reader in the world would do justice to the characters like Davina Porter. The woman is a miracle. I am quite picky about readers, and she blows my mind every time. The books are detailed, and sometimes slow-going, but they are SO WORTH IT. Can't recommend highly enough. 100 stars! No! A MILLION STARS.

Book 2 of the Outlander series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you liked Book !, you will like the continuation.

What other book might you compare Dragonfly in Amber to and why?

The first book.

Which character – as performed by Davina Porter – was your favorite?

Claire is the main character, though in this story she is particularly annoying as she attempts to be a modern, independent woman in a mid evil time. She continues to get both she and Jaime into trouble though pigheadedness that is almost too much.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Claire must sleep with the King to get Jaime out of prison. She tries to hide it, but ends up confessing.

Such a wonderful story of love and adventure!

This second book in the Outlander series is as good as I remember from my previous reading of the series. I can't wait to listen to the next book. There was a lot I had forgotten from my previous sojourns into the series. So very good.
