Journeys from fiction drawn on the real world

Diana Gabaldon · 2014 · overland

Philadelphia, 1778. Jamie is not dead; he walks into the room where his wife has just married Lord John Grey for protection, and the war and the family come apart in the same afternoon. It ends at Monmouth, in the worst heat of the century, and then at last on the road home to the Ridge.

  1. 1
    Philadelphia

    Jamie comes back from the dead into the middle of his own wife's second marriage. William learns whose son he is and hates everyone for it. The British evacuate the city, and the whole cast follows them out of it.

  2. 2
    Monmouth

    June 1778, and the hottest day anyone can remember. Claire is shot in the head on the field and lives; Jamie resigns his commission on the spot to sit with her, and decides the war can find somebody else.

  3. 3
    Savannah

    Down the coast to the city the British take at the end of the year, with the family scattered across both sides of it.

  4. 4
    Fraser's Ridge

    Home at last, up the mountain, to build the house a second time.

  5. 5
    Lallybroch

    1980. Brianna and Roger have bought Lallybroch and are raising their children in it, reading Jamie and Claire's letters two centuries after they were written - and being hunted by a man who has worked out what this family can do.
