Note: Since I am busy writing this month, I am posting some older reviews I’ve been meaning to move to Booklorn.com.
Claire is on a second honeymoon in Scotland after World War II when she steps into a Stonehenge-like ring of stones and passes out. When she awakens she finds 
Gabaldon has created a rich world where certain people can travel through time with the protection of gem stones and the help of sacred sites around the world. Her writing is vivid and well-researched. Although the book is a complete story, the reader is left hungry for the next adventure in the saga—a feat she has been able to repeat in each of the next five books

Veens´s last blog post..The Soul of Afghanistan…!!!
Eep, forgot I had scheduled this review for today. Guess I really do have to get back to writing then.
I always learn a few new words when I read Gabaldon’s books, and that’s not true of a lot of popular fiction authors. She writes so that if you don’t know the word you can still follow the flow of the story though. I didn’t notice there were words I didn’t know in her books until I had to go looking for them as an assignment.
Her book is the first one where I ran across the English word for “the sound of the wind blowing through the trees” … and I’ll be darned if I can remember the word at the moment so that’s not such a good example.

Would that word be “sough?”
That’s it! It replaced my previous favourite word: defenestrate (still kind of like this one, but I think of it less often now that I no longer work with scientists).
Love Diana Gabaldon’s books.
