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.

I Still Can't Believe how Wrong I Was!

I am not a fan of romance novels. I am however, a fan of History. I was not aware of this series until out of boredom, I watched Outlander because it was free on Amazon Prime. I am absolutely thrilled with the highly intelligent storytelling the wise and witty and sometimes dark humor and the Fairly strict adherence to historical fact. This is a beautifully written story and is narrated with the effect the writer intended. That being said I do not like female narrators either but, this one is fabulous! I highly suggest this series with this narrator!

It's a Wonderful Story!!!

Would you listen to Dragonfly in Amber again? Why?

I have read the book three times and I listened on audible and I must say it touches my heart just like reading it does. Diana Gabaldon has a way of telling a story like no other and the characters Jamie and Claire have a love that binds them like no other. Davina Porter's telling of the story makes it almost real.... It's by far the best book and series I have ever read and I have read alot. I give it an A+++++ :)

it doesnt get any better than Diana Gabaldon!

Gabaldon is a masterful writer! I've read all books in the Outlander series twice, and listened to them once through. Now on my second listen. My favorite book series ever! Davina Porter is my favorite female narrator, so how could I not love this series?????

take me away book...

Enjoyed this historical fiction book, a little of everything, drama, adventure, romance, rightious fighters against tyranny and brave struggles for freedom. Listening to this audio book was an enjoyable escape from present day conditions, and hopefully, unlike the Jacobite rebellion, we will be successful and rid our country of our present day tyranny.
