About this listen

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. If you've experienced Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, or Voyager, you already know the length of the book is deceptive. None of them is nearly long enough.

Would you consider the audio edition of Drums of Autumn to be better than the print version?

For me personally it was as I sometimes skim read when a book has too much description or is a little long winded. By listening you hear it all.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Drums of Autumn?

When Roger decides not to go back through the stones with his family

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The description of Clare's attempt to use 20th Century medicine to save Jaime when he was bitten by a snake

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

a lot of both

Any additional comments?

I think that Diana Gabaldon has done a great deal of research into the history and language of the Scots for this series, and that Davina Porter reads the series amazingly. The sad thing is that Ms Gabaldon has let the series down by not using British words when they are being spoken by British people eg diapers, pants and Fall. It would have been a credit to her if she had

Excellent read with one complaint

Outwardly a romantic tale of time travel, love, loss and legend, this is also a well-researched saga describing the bitter hardship of the Scots after Culloden. The narrative continues with perilous sea crossings, piracy, slavery, and the struggle to gain a foothold in the New World, with a fascinating look at immigrant life and Native American society. Add in a cast of vividly painted characters, wild landscapes, and superb narration from Davina Porter, and the result is a story you will not want the rest of your life to interrupt!

Claire is re-united with Jamie Fraser, and her daughter Brianna also makes the perilous journey into the past.
