  • Freedom

    Another volume in the Claire and Jamie story. It is just as spell binding as the other books. I find it difficult to put down. This story revolves around the Revolutionary War, bringing up how hard it was on ordinary people. Neighbor against Neighbor, father against son, you had to be very careful what you said and to who

  • Great Conclusion

    If you've read the other books in this series you should read this final volume. The story line following Brianna's family is weak but it's a minor thread easily tolerated if you care about the characters. Claire and Jamie are front and center as they are pushed and pulled by the colonial revolution. Lord John Gray is involved as well. By the end of the book this reader felt well satisfied.
