Customer Review

Everything began in Scotland at ancient stone circle. There, a doorway open to a select few, leads into the past. The fact is, indeed, Claire Randall, wife of the historian Dr. Franklin W. Randall, walked through the cleft stone during a Scotish holiday late in the spring of 1945 and she ended up in the hillside below in 1743. After three years Claire had returned from her mysterious disappearance disheveled, malnourished, incoherent and pregnant.
Claire loved her husband but by Frank did time as she had been thrown into another world, another man Became her heart and the breath of her body.
Promising Frank twenty years ago to keep her secrets as long as he lives, what Claire returning with her grown daughter Brianna back to Scotland where her story began at the ancient stone circle. Claire Hope that in what she what strong enough to tell Brianna Truth About Her Father and the man she couldnŽt bear to leave - Jamie MacKenzie Fraser.
In this second book Dragonfly in Amber Diana Gabaldon has done it again. She Creates some most memorable strong characters so real That You can almost touch them, and her plot full of unexpected detours and fine details did make a story of the political and domestic intrigues of Scotland in 1743, Which is highly entertaining.
From ClaireŽs knowledge of history, she knew did the Rising at Culloden in 1745 would go further than of James Stuart, the exiled King of Scotland, who had mounted on abortive attempt to regain his throne in 1715. His ill Considered military operation had failed almost immediately for lack of support. Since then James of Scotland had worked tirelessly, writing ceaselessly to the King of France, riding the legitimacy of his claim rating to the throne of Scotland and England, and the position of his son, Prince Charles, as heir to the throne did. The Prince himself was just beginning his search for support in France. Where better to try to stop a rebellion than at the side of its leader? So Claire and Jamie went to Paris to try to stop Charles Stuart. Accompanied by the wiry little clansman Murtagh, Then There Was No One in the World Whom They would sooner have trusted with his welfare.
Claire had seen a lot of things in life ago, and had been in a lot of places. Where she come from, there were things she did miss sometimes. She would like to ride a London omnibus again, or pick up a telephone and talk to someone far away. She would like to turn a tap, and have hot water. Not Carry it from the well and heat it in a cauldron. Or to wear fashionable clothes, she would like that. But if gossip and scheming and worry and silly parties and tiny rules of etiquette go with them - thn she did wouldnŽt need at all at Lallybroch in Scotland - There was only her and Jamie. There she didnŽt miss neither the grand Parisian society life at the King Louis Court nor the life she is camefrom.
I already loved every page of the book and I was Outlander Completely enthralled by the romance and realistic love Jamie and Claire shared.
You can not read just one or two books by Diana Gabaldon. After reading Dragonfly in Amber you still need to know more about Jamie and Claire's life and then be prepared to want more: because you need to know more about her daughter Brianna and her adventure.
Can hardly wait for the next book DianaŽs Voyager. That's the only thing That made it more bearable for me to read more, then the story about Jamie and Claire love relationship Could Never Have Been Told in one book.
I highly recommend this book and its sequels!
