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.

Would you consider the audio edition of Dragonfly in Amber to be better than the print version?

Yes, I read the print version but listening to the story teller I felt connected to the charactorsIt felt like a journey in time. Can't wait to get into the rest of the books that follow.

What did you like best about this story?

Claire and James and the places their story took them. and how they were bound togetherthrough everything.

What does Davina Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice was excellent, She brought out the feelings of the characters. Made them more then what they were on paper. Real

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I do not know. It covers so much, romance, adventure, hummor, time travel, history, wars,life in Scotland in the 15 th an 16th centery. It boggles the mind. no one can believe it until the read it for themselves then they ar hooked on it all.
