Dragonfly in Amber

Summary (from the publisher): With her now-classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful follow-up to Outlander....

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....

Review: This is the second novel of the Outlander novels and I loved it just as much as the first (despite all of them being close to or over 1,000 pages). I can't believe these haven't been made into movies yet, but it's probably a good thing because I most likely would pass out just watching the trailer. I love Claire and Jamie's story. Absolutely NOT fine literature, but a storyline that keeps me hooked. Can't wait to read the third one.
