Jill over at Breaking the Spine

An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon
  • Hardcover: 992 pages
  • Publisher: Delacorte Press (September 22, 2009)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 0385342454
  • ISBN-13: 978-0385342452
Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and he’d rather die than face his illegitimate son — a young lieutenant in the British Army — across the barrel of a gun. Fraser’s time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery. What she does believe is that the price won’t include Jamie’s life or happiness — not if she has anything to say.


I've been in love with this series from the very first book
and I can't wait to step back into Jamie and Claire's lives again!!!

What book are you waiting for ?

    I have only read the first in this series. I need to get back to it because I enjoyed the first so much. The size of the books can just be so daunting sometimes.

    Mine WoW is here.

    I've never read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency either. If you get hooked that means I'll have to try them!

    I've been looking at Tallgrass, so I'll be curious to see what you think. The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency was great as an audiobook, too. Love your blog's new look!

    I'm quite a fan of the Alexander McCall Smith series. The books are just good comfort reads. I've fallen behind by two books in the series I think so I need to catch up :)

    Enjoy your loot!

    I hope you enjoy Alexander McCall Smith's book. I love that series. I know a lot of people who go in expecting it to be a real mystery novel, but it's not. It's much more about the characters and their lives.

    I've been wanting to read Tallgrass for awhile now. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

    I've yet to read a Diana Gabaldon book. Maybe someday.

    I am big fan of both the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and the Outlander series as well. I am definitely waiting with great anticipation for An Echo in the Bone!

    I see you did get Tallgrass. That's a cool cover too. I read this first Ladies Detective book and I did like it. I've never read the rest though. I'm curious what you'll think of it.

    I'm waiting for Echo in a Bone too!!!

    I never really got into the whole No.1 Ladies...I read the first one, thought it was pleasant and never bothered with the rest. The television series was quite good.

    I can't wait for the new Diana Gabaldon either! Do you know when it's coming out? Guess I better get started re-reading the others!
