Description

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America. Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The show more second time, twenty years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history. Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters. If you've experienced Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, or Voyager, you already know the length of the book is deceptive. None of them is nearly long enough. show less

Come in Tamburi D'Autunno continua la storia di Roger e Breanna. Roger raggiunge l'America ma sembra che tutto sia contro di lui, infatti, suo malgrado, si trova coinvolto in un orribile equivoco che lo riallontanerà nuovamente dalla sua Bree che, nel frattempo, ha finalmente fatto conoscenza con Jamie.

L'incontro fra i due è a dir poco epocale, catartico. Assolutamente da leggere ma il meglio l'autrice lo da alla prima "lite" furiosa fra i due che costringerà Clare e Ian e battere la ritirata. L'alternativa sarebbe stata narcotizzarli, entrambi, ma Clare Fraser ha ancora una morale.

Il rapporto fra James e la figlia è a dir poco toccante, molto bello e verosimile. Come lo me, stranamente, il rapporto sviluppatosi fra Gray e Bree, show more sembra quasi che voglia fare le veci di James in sua assenza, in questo libro "l'usurpatore Gray" sale di grado, ma non credo di essere in grado di accettarlo ancora appieno.

Libro molto più avvincente e ricco di azione rispetto alla prima metà, Diana Gabaldon riesce nuovamente a costruire una trama assolutamente perfetta dove ogni più piccolo particolare è essenziale e perfettamente incastrato. Solo che noi lo scopriremo solamente alla fine.
