DESCRIPTION:
At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife; his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is; and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Written in My Own Heart's Blood is the brilliant next chapter in a masterpiece of the imagination unlike any other.. It is 1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington's troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself. The story unfolded from there in seven best-selling novels, and CNN has called it "a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across centuries." Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart's Blood. Or not. Meanwhile
"The eighth book in a series that doesn't appear to be wrapping up anytime soon." according to Alpha Reader. **** I received an advance review copy of the book from the publisher ******* No MOBY Spoilers. I promise. But there are spoilers of other books in the Outlander series! ***When we left these characters after `An Echo in the Bone', way back in 2009 (and 1980, and 1778, respectively) the Fraser clan. Diana Galbaldon is a wonderful story teller. Baseball Mom ***No Spoilers****I have been hooked on this series since the original Outlander book, and have read every book, some more than once often in anticipation of the next book. Diana Galbaldon's writing style is easy and flowing, she is extremely accurate with her historic research. You cannot go wrong. "I love the characters, but I'm starting to see some disappointing trends in the writing." according to Gadget Girl. ***Spoilers - please don't read if you want to avoid me giving away some narrative points in this novel***I love this Outlander series and enjoyed being with the characters through this telling, but I agree that it was a disappointing read for these reasons:1) Rape as the go-to tension builder/plot
