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, twenty 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.

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)

After their ship wrecked in America, Clare, Jamie and Ian make their way to Jamie's great aunt. Little do they know that Brianna has found a death notice for her parents and so makes her own trip through the stones to try and save them.

We get to know Roger a lot more and I enjoyed the pioneering aspect of starting Fraser Ridge afresh. The dog Rollo was sweet too, albeit probably a wolf!

Born in the USA

I have been waiting for ages for this book to be available from Audible as I have already listened to the three previous ones. I have read all the books in the series but it is such a pleasure to be able to listen to this wonderful story told so brilliantly by Davinia Porter. Well done Audible for adding this to your library. I look forward to seeing the next two books in your library soon!!
