by Diana Gabaldon
Synopsis:
Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.
Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. 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.
Review:
This is the third book in a series of thrilling time travel adventure stories by Diana Gabaldon. If you've stuck it out and read the first two books in the Outlander series, you know these books are long, historically detailed, and full of adventure, violence, sex and magic.
In
Voyager, Claire finds out the truth about Jamie's life after the
battle of Culloden. She mistakenly thought he had died but she finds out that he saved his men and he himself survived the
fighting. She is torn by her love for Jamie in 18th
century Scotland and her 18 year old daughter Brianna in the 20th
century.
Ultimately
she decides to return to Jamie and the first part of this book is
about their reuniting and filling in the gaps of 18 years living
apart. Then Roger and Brianna find a foreboding news article
accounting Jamie's and Claire's death and Brianna must decide how to
save her mother even though they are separated by two centuries.
Voyager
lovingly continues this compelling time travel series. We finally get
to see Jamie and Claire unite in a time and place they can finally be
together in peace (or can they?) and the characters of Brianna and
Roger are rounded out and whole heartedly join in the adventures. I
love the idea of Jamie and Claire reuniting and it is so moving
reading the scene where Claire tells Jamie about Brianna. Even though
he knows he can never meet Brianna, his love for her is fierce
and complete.
Finally
seeing Brianna's love for her mother and the lengths she will go to
save her is amazing, also finding out just how much Roger truly loves
Brianna...sigh. I love the characters in this series and the history
they bring to life during the telling of their stories. You will not
be disappointed with this third epic tale in the Outlander series. As
with the other's it does contain sex, adventure, and violence so it's
not intended for young or timid readers.
Intended Audience: Adults 18+, contains sex, violence
