#68 - Dragonfly in Amber


Wow! I am completely hooked on this series. I cried a lot more through this one, because the 20 year seperation between the two main characters was hard to deal with considering how in love they are and what happens in that 20 year period. I can't imagine what it would be like to think the one person you've ever loved was dead and then find out 20 years later he isn't. Anyway, here is a synopsis copied from Barnes and Noble:

From the author of Outlander... a magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...

For twenty 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....
