Loading... A Breath of Snow and Ashesby Diana Gabaldon
   No current Talk conversations about this book. Just as with all of the books in the Outlander series, this one is long and chunky. I enjoy reading this series in small doses over several months, in between other books. Always rooting for Claire and Jamie and Brianna and Roger! And Young Ian and Fergus and...and... Lots of good people but there's also despicable characters. Onwards to the next one! (  ) ValerieAndBooks | Sep 24, 2023 |  Enjoyable as always... A good standby. ( ) SusanStradiotto | Jul 12, 2023 | Set this one down at about 1/2 way for months... wasn’t into the history part and it had gotten too slow, history name dropping etc. picked it up again and fell back in love with the people and series! ( ) Asauer72 | Jul 3, 2023 | This might be my favorite in the series thus far (save the first)! Absolutely packed to the gills with domesticity, emotion, and medical content (which are the things I love about these books) and very light on the politics and battles, despite it happening during the American Civial War. I was honestly shocked at the turn of events near the end. I likely should have expected it, but I was so cozy on Fraser's Ridge with everyone it hadn't crossed my mind. The only thing that holds this back from a perfect score is the unfortunate amount of r*pe and SA that occur. Sadly not new themes in Outlander books, but truly the instances here added nothing to the story, and made no significant changes to character or plot. (  ) sublunarie | Dec 24, 2022 | part of a series, no. 6. not a bookclub book but very good!! (  ) PatLibrary123 | Aug 9, 2022 | no reviews | add a review

A worldwide sensation with more than 12 million copies in print, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series has produced #1 best-selling novels and earned a fiercely devoted fan base. Another spellbinding entry in the series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the saga of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century, time-traveling wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the privilege, although some might call it a burden, of knowing that war cannot be avoided. Claire has told him that the colonies will unite and rebel, and the result will be independence, with all British loyalists either dead or exiled. And there is an additional problem. Claire has discovered a newspaper clipping from 1776 that tells of Jamie's death. With its epic scope, historical details, and sweeping romance, A Breath of Snow and Ashes is everything Gabaldon's fans love and more. No library descriptions found. |
