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 heart breaking encounter may strand her forever in the past—or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong...

      Starred review from December 30, 1996
      Gabaldon has few rivals in writing exciting--and hefty--historical romances. The fourth in a series of linked sagas (Outlander; Dragonfly in Amber; Voyager), her new epic has a delicious premise. Claire Randall, the post-WWII bride of historian Frank Randall, steps through a skew in the Scottish stone circle Craigh na Dun and lands in Revolutionary America and the arms of Highlander Jamie Fraser--putting a new spin on the notion of a two-timing woman. Bold and bawdy, but a believing Catholic, Claire struggles to live a rich and moral life--or, rather, rich and moral lives--under these extraordinary circumstances. Claire's adventures in 18th-century Charleston alternate with equally engaging chapters devoted to her 20th-century daughter, Brianna. Raised as Frank Randall's child, Bree discovers that Jamie Fraser is her real sire. She takes off on a harrowing, confrontational quest through time and space with her suitor, Roger Wakefield, in hot pursuit. Gabaldon's range is impressive, whether she's evoking the rawness of colonial America, the cozy clutter of a modern Scottish parsonage, the lusts of the body or the yearnings of the spirit. Her legion of fans will love diving into this ocean of romance. Major ad/promo; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club featured alternates; author tour.

      Gabaldon's fourth book in her fascinating series about Jamie and Claire Fraser, displaced Scottish Highlanders, brings the adventuresome couple to the American Colonies. Combining the joy of eternal love, the promise of a new (and, they hope, safe) life, and the drive to reunite themselves with their daughter, Gabaldon lures listeners in and treats them to a thrilling ride. Geraldine James brings her years of theatrical experience to the recording. This isn't a reading; it's a performance. She proves her talent with the soft delivery of Claire and the powerful gentleness she brings to Jamie. The result is a fine tale told with the energy and passion it deserves. R.A.P.

      Even for those unfamiliar with the first three books of this series, the characters of DRUMS OF AUTUMN will soon feel familiar. Davina Porter presents vivid and full-bodied portrayals of this splendid lineup of warriors, scoundrels, Indians and strong women, who include the best (and worst) of their time and the time to which they travel. The accents and manner of speech of each stay consistent and true throughout. The listener can rely on Porter to show the nuances, temperament and breadth of the major players; she reads with an abiding familiarity with the characters and events, making both seem all the more real.
