'Drums of Autumn' by Diana Gabaldon

HOW FAR WILL A WOMAN TRAVEL TO FIND A FATHER - A LOVER - A DESTINY? ACROSS SEAS - ACROSS TIME - ACROSS THE GRAVE ITSELF

It began in Scotland, at an ancient stone circle. Claire Randall was swept through time into the arms of James Fraser whose love for her became legend - a tale of tragic passion that ended with her return to the present to bear his child. Two decades later, Claire travelled back again to reunite with Jamie, this time in frontier America. But Claire had left someone behind in her own time - their daughter Brianna.

Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the stone circle and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she risks her own future to try to change history - and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past - or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong...

REVIEW

I am totally in love with the Outlander series. This the fourth book in the series, I have to say though I have mixed feelings about. It was my less favourite of the four books I've read so far, with some rather graphic violence scenes and misunderstandings that if only having an adult conversation would clear up!! But saying this, this book had some of my favourite scenes out of the four books. One of my favourites was when Jamie and Ian realise they have met Brianna's Roger before (can't say anymore as I don't want to ruin it - but i loved this scene and laughed so hard!!). And it also had one of the saddest scenes too out of the four book - Ian and the Mohawk's (I cried loads!! Will miss him loads as he has been one of my favourite characters). I did enjoy getting to know other characters that play a large part in this story and about Jamie and Claire's new life in the Americas.

Would recommend (but as I said not my overall favourite out of the first four - looking forward to starting book five 'The Fiery Cross')
