Publisher's Summary
The second part of the series from Diana Gabaldon that explores the power of a love that transcends space and time. A magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland....
For 20 years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....
Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

Not a sappy romance, a great adventure!
I spent a few years on Audible collecting a stockpile of Sci-fi and Fantasy books but generally stayed away from time-travel fiction, mainly due to the unfair pre-conception that the constraints of time travel would constrain the writing. And, particularly with this series, I was worried that the romance would be in depth details of repetitive thrusting and engorged members. Kind of a boring read for a guy…
Not so with Dragonfly in Amber.
Diana Gabaldon has created a character driven story full of drama, adventure and suspense that keeps you listening and polishes the world she’s created. This really allows you escape the mundane aspects of your own life!
Well written, narrated and with a number of books in the series to keep you listening, I strongly recommend this to anyone, guy or girl, who is interested in a new series.
P.S. I held off buying this for years because I was informed that it was a romance novel. It is, but it has so many other aspects, it’s easy to get lost in the world, and rather than the romance detracting from the book, it really does add a lot to it.
Well worth the listen!

bit too mills and boon
I’m currently struggling to finish this book. the love scenes are the main content, they are boring, typical and don’t add to the plot. I feel like we left the plot behind to wander around in a housewife’s daydream.
