Publisher's summary

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America.

Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, 20 years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters.

Critic reviews

"Gabaldon's range is impressive, whether she's evoking the rawness of colonial America, the cozy clutter of a modern Scottish parsonage, the lusts of the body or the yearnings of the spirit. Her legion of fans will love diving into this ocean of romance." ( Publishers Weekly)

Delightful!

Davina Porter’s narration made this story come alive! As an avid Outlander fan, I appreciated her voices and entertaining inflection for each character. I hope she reads ALL the books in the Outlander series! Bravo!

The ending was disappointing.

I did not like the was the daughter was written. she was as a person and very disrespectful to her Father Jammie., and for a historian her boyfriend didn't seem to know what he was doing back in time.

Marcia in Denver

Great story! Very inventive and the characters most compelling. An instant classic! I've read it twice and enjoyed the audiobook just as much.

Davina Porter is amazing as always.

I enjoyed this book as I have all of them but I get frustrated with the communication between characters - every time someone doesn't finish a sentence or decides not to communicate important information to another character, the reader can almost see the coming comedy of errors and disaster that will ensue as a result. It seems to be a common thread in the stories and if course the resulting disasters are the meat of the book, but after a while it feels like a bad sitcom with everyone running around to correct a problem that wouldn't have happened if only they'd communicated better.
