Her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through perilous years ahead??or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives… (more)
So. Boring. I couldn't get more than about a third of the way through this. The author really could have used a more assertive editor on this one, to cut out a lot of the superfluous and repetitive stuff (enough about dirty diapers and leaky boobs already). ( )
OK, every book gets better & better. I'm glad I re-read the books I'd already read, including the Lord John stories. Looking forward to A Breath of Snow & Ashes. ( )
Still love the characters, but the story is becoming very predictable. I will try to continue, but another one with such predictability will make me stop. ( )

Ik heb oorlog meegemaakt, en veel verloren. Ik weet wat het waard is om voor te vechten, en wat niet. Eer en moed zijn essentiële zaken, en voor datgene waarvoor een man bereid is te doden, zal hij soms ook willen sterven. En dat, o verwanten, is waarom een vrouw brede heupen heeft: dat benige bekken is zowel het toevluchtsoord van een man als zijn kind. Het leven van een man ontspringt aan het lichaam van zijn vrouw, en in haar bloed vindt zijn eer zijn oorsprong. Voor de liefde alleen, zal ik mij wederom door het vuur begeven.
Dedication
This book is for my Sister, Theresa Gabaldon, with whom I told the first Stories.
First words
I woke to the patter of rain on canvas, with the feel of my first husband's kiss on my lips.
Quotations
Last words
"When the day shall come, that we do part," he said softly, and turned to look at me, "if my last words are not 'I love you' -- ye'll ken it was because I didna have time."
