1968 – Claire and her daughter return to Scotland. Claire has secrets she’s kept for two decades and now she plans to tell her daughter everything. 

1740s – Jamie and Claire are in the French capital hoping to gain enough information as they brush elbows with high society to stop the Jacobite uprising and the brutal Battle of Culloden. 

I love Jamie and Claire so much. They respect each other and listen to each other and have so much love and passion for each other. I liked the setting of Paris and the high society they were mingling with. Definitely some funny and messy moments.

What Jamie and Claire went through after Claire chased Jamie down to the duel was so heartbreaking and then when they finally talked in the garden. Have the tissues ready.

Claire, Jamie and the whole waxing convo, especially Jamie’s response to a lady removing it all totally cracked me up. It was interesting have the grooming differences between the centuries brought to light in this way. 

I love this series so much. This  was a great continuation of Claire and Jamie’s story.
