Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon returns to her Outlander universe in The Space Between, an irresistible novella brimming with adventure, history, and suspense - and available for the first time as a standalone audiobook.

Joan MacKimmie is on her way to Paris to take up her vocation as a nun. Yet her decision is less a matter of faith than fear, for Joan is plagued by mysterious voices that speak of the future, and by visions that mark those about to die. The sanctuary of the nunnery promises respite from these unwanted visitations...or so she prays. Her chaperone is Michael Murray, a young widower who, though he still mourns the death of his wife, finds himself powerfully drawn to his charge.

But when the time-traveling Comte St. Germain learns of Joan’s presence in Paris, and of her link to Claire Fraser - La Dame Blanche - Murray is drawn into a battle whose stakes are not merely the life but the very soul of the Scotswoman who, without even trying, has won his heart.

Great short story.

As always Herself spins a wonderful tale. Her books are always filled with so many possible side stories. This adds to the world that she has created.

I just wish it had more to the story.

Wish it would say if they get together? The story line was so good. I hope you let us know if they do get together.

Perfect Novella for an afternoon listen!

I loved this story. I am glad to hear a little more about Ian's family and how the people Jamie and Claire left in Scotland went on with their lives.

didn't love the ending :(

I guess I am so used to the novels, in this series, that the shortness of this Novella, bothered me. I also wished that the ending was left so open. Especially, since I have read the novel that follows this novella and it did not provide the resolution, either. However, it was well written and, perhaps, the resolution will be in the next novel in the series; whenever it will be written. I have read every novel, in this series, one after the other and have spent weeks enjoying this series. Now, I feel at a loss as how I am going to be able to read any inferior series while I wait for the next chapter in these beloved characters lives.
