“No help for it; I was going to have to use the penicillin”.
It had been a shocker of the week and a trip back into the
arms of Jamie Fraser seemed the perfect antidote. Certainly things can seem a
little bit formulaic, but I say that in a good way – why fix something that
isn’t broken? I’d rather worry quality time with Jamie than paying bills and
kicking goals (own or otherwise) at work – my goal kicking foot is feeling a little worn. The
formula of separation, hot reunion, drama, separation, hot reunion etc. never
seems to get tired.
Back to the tale itself. Claire has discovered that…YES…
#spoilers… Jamie survived the battle of Culloden and now that her daughter,
Brianna, is grown, she is heading on back to that whip marked , hot Scot.
Not to mention this outing features a voyage on the seven
seas, pirates, a bit of man love and so much more.
Imagine going back in time with your own stash of penicillin
– you’d feel almost superhuman. Claire has managed to become a doctor too, I guess you have to keep yourself busy when
separated from someone like Jamie for 20 years.
As usual this novel’s excessive girth was a little
overwhelming on the bookshelf, but once I cracked it open, I devoured it
greedily and finished it in a two days! Such is my love of escape with Jamie.
I can’t wait to run away with him again.
I’m turning into a bit of an Outlander tragic and would love
to find a stone that would let me time travel to another time and all around
the world to boot – this time the pair set sail for Jamaica and it looks like
they are headed further north for the next instalment – I can’t wait.
5 out of 5 pirates
say arrr right.
