AND also, this book was published in the 90s which wasn’t that long ago and if the author felt comfortable degrading other cultures and races, I will not be supporting her.Īfter I read this book, I immediately went on Goodreads to see if others had the same opinions. Also, Claire was born in the 20th century and she was still very insensitive and disrespectful. YES it is, but it still doesn’t give the author right to make it racist. And you may try to explain this to me by saying “Yes Soph, but isn’t this book set in 1700s?”.
Rasicm towards Asian people, towards black people and Native Americans all throughout the book. The main and quite large problem is the obvious racism. However, after the meeting (which was very anti-climatic just so you know), it all seemed to go downfall. I was looking forward to the big meeting 20 years later and I was eating this book up. Unfortunately, after having read this book, I will not be continuing on with the series. As some of you might know, I absolutely loved The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and although the books are quite long, I decided to read one book from this series a year. I am very disappointed writing this review. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her…the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland… and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite or forever doom her timeless love. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her… and her body still cries out for him in her dreams. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden.
Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. From the author of the breathtaking bestsellers Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, the extraordinary saga continues.
