The Space Between

An Outlander Novella

De: Diana Gabaldon

Narrado por: Davina Porter

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.

Wonderful as expected

Short too short. Has a great glimpse into some of my favorite minor characters. Thoroughly enjoyed it

So what will happen to Joan?

I wonder if these informative novellas will be made into movies in the near future.

Space Filled

Loved the web that was woven in this novella. Well done and characters developed well.

Good, but too brief

Wish there was more content. Missing a meaty Gabaldon book :(
Could have used more character development nonetheless...Davina Porter is perfect as the narrator as expected.

absolutely loved this story

the way Davina porter tells Diana's stories is the best I really enjoyed this story of Joan and Michael and the mystery of the old folk 🤫

Michael and Joan--Hmm! Will They Or Won't They?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh yes. The author is my all time favorite and the narrator is one of the best around. The books are so well written and narrated that you want it to go on and on. But, you must have read the first three novels in the series before this novella. Please, do or you won't understand a thing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Space Between?

When the nuns realize that Joan is not the real daughter of Claire, then understanding blooms. The story leaves you wanting more because it doesn't really end. It is just the beginning of life for Joan.

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

Ahhhh, Davina Porter! She is the best. I've listened to her read the Outlander books, awesome experience. And, I've listened to her read other books. She brings her knowledge of dialect and language. She is truly an artist.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. But the entire book made me want more!!! More!!! More!!!

Interesting revelation!

Would you listen to The Space Between again? Why?

Yes! This deepens the OUTLANDER series' characters. Now I better understand the background of the characters.

Any additional comments?

Buy this novella and enjoy the deepened characters in the series! 😊

Very good

Slow at first but what an ending !! I would recommend
Please Enjoy this book one and all

Answers some questions..creates more...wonderful!

A must read for Outlander fans....questions answered and then I had more. I feel like we need another novella to learn more and see where the story goes.

I thought it would be hard to get through with no Jamie or Claire....but actually I got into it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good but too short given the threads it starts

Very very good, but it ended too soon. Seems as if it could be a nice corollary series to the Outlander series. Left some enticing plot threads hanging .

Would like to know what happens to all four protagonists after last scene.
Otherwise , the period atmosphere and detail, the development of characters' personalities, and the performance by DP, were of the quality I've come to expect from Diana G and Davina P.
