Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Gabaldon delivers on what she does best: poignant storylines, empathetic characters, meticulous detail, and searing passion. Savor every carefully chosen word, readers; it may be a long time until the next installment!”
—Amazon.com, editorial review
“The year is 1771. The American War of
Independence is fast approaching. And it seems that Jamie Fraser and his wife,
Claire, and their beloved family are fated to be in the thick of things once
again.” —Barnes&Noble.com, editorial review
“Those readers who have been waiting with
impatience for the fifth installment in the incredible Outlander series will be
richly rewarded by Diana Gabaldon’s latest literary achievement…Gabaldon’s
eloquent prose portrays a rich tapestry of life in Colonial America. She is a
storyteller par excellence who can capture her readers and immerse them in a
distant land and time where passion is ignited, land is fought over and
families reunite. All are told with an accuracy for historic detail, a beauty
of language and poetry, and of course the irascible humor which make the Outlander
series a bounty for her legions of fans.” —RTBookReviews (4½ stars)
“The still unfinished strands of this complex and
engrossing tale, coupled with the impending Revolution, give hope to Gabaldon’s
fans that the saga is not yet finished. As always, the writing is superb lush,
evocative, and sensual, with a wealth of historic detail and a good deal of
humor. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
“Davina Porter carries the story with a vibrancy
and consistency that keep the listener riveted…Her Scottish and British
dialects distinguish the characters so thoroughly as to make them instantly
identifiable, even before the speakers are named. Jamie Fraser’s rough but
lilting Scots accent contrasts nicely with that of his refined British wife.
Their daughter, Briana, carries no American dialect; neither does she suffer
from a poor imitation thereof. Even the babies convincingly whine, cajole, and
play. Porter’s narrative passages tie these delightful characters together
elegantly.” —AudioFile
