Goodness me! What a lot of 'anonymous' comments on this page!
Maybe they just aren't registered?
Anyhow, I finished Cross Stitch about a week or so ago, and shall definitely find Dragonfly in Amber as soon as I finish Lark Rise to Candleford (picked up in charity shop before I knew the series was coming on TV!)
Diana Gabaldon is a good writer and I'm not bothered how accurate all the facts are as it is good escapism. Also the characters are very feisty, and Jamie is 'all man'. If anything is far-fetched, it's how he survives all the torture he's experienced! On a visit to Culloden in 2001 one of the guides was the spitting image of his character.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
