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.

less sexy time more history

pleasantly surprised with this book in comparison to the first as the author seems to have satisfied their need to write sex scenes every 30 pages and focused on better character development.
the story was better developed in this installation and did not want for lack of detail, and Claire is still the worst part of the books.
looking forward to Voyager.

Contrasts between the series and the book.

I have watched the 5 seasons of Outlander. I have been curious about the differences between the series and the books. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book. I love reading but listening gives more depth to the printed word.

Love me a great follow-up to a phenomenal novel!!

“Outlander” was such a wonderful, beautiful, crazy journey and “Dragonfly in Amber” is a great way to continue to journey of Claire & Jamie and all of the people in their lives!!! The history is so interesting and their love story just keeps you listening and wanting to hear and experience more and more. I’m excited to dive into “Voyager” next and feel the love and loyalty of those two badass humans. Enjoy!!
