About this eBook

THE FOURTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES - NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES

How far will a woman travel to find a father, a lover a destiny? Across seas, across time - across the grave itself.

It began in Scotland, at an ancient stone circle. Claire Randall was swept through time into the arms of James Fraser whose love for her became legend - a tale of tragic passion that ended with her return to the present to bear his child. Two decades later, Claire travelled back again to reunite with Jamie, this time in frontier America. But Claire had left someone behind in her own time - their daughter Brianna.

Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the stone circle and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she risks her own future to try to change history - and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past - or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong...

Great novel and story, as are all the Outlander books but.. there are several let downs and wee mistakes. A Scottish person would never use the word 'diper', it's a 'nappy'! Also, some of the gaelic doesn't seem very authentic or real. Just small mistakes that only a Scottish/gaelic speaker would pick up on!

Descriptive as always, the author takes the suspension of disbelief a bit too far in this novel. That and the fact that the entire plot is woven around a simple piece of miscommunication between two of the characters, made the book hard going. Not up to her usual standard.

About the author

Diana Gabaldon is the author of the international bestselling Outlander novels and Lord John Grey series.

She says that the Outlander series started by accident: 'I decided to write a novel for practice in order to learn what it took to write a novel, and to decide whether I really wanted to do it for real. I did - and here we all are trying to decide what to call books that nobody can describe, but that fortunately most people seem to enjoy.'

And enjoy them they do - in their millions, all over the world. Published in 42 countries and 38 languages, in 2014 the Outlander novels were made into an acclaimed TV series starring Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser and Caitriona Balfe as Claire. Seasons three and four are currently in production.

Diana lives with her husband and dogs in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is currently at work on her ninth Outlander novel.
