This one is loaded with confusions that can make your mind go round and round, in the beginning we don’t get an understanding that which one among the leading persons is the main focus of Diana Gabaldon.
The book is not on a single plot, there are multiple stories that mix up in one in the later stages but first half an hour is a real crucial thing after that it all starts to make sense. Here this time Davina Porter’s narration has played a gigantic role because she has not allowed the listener to get a fed up at the beginning and as we enter the second pace it is a smooth journey.
Main issue is the introduction of characters one after the other which was never there in Voyager or An Echo in the Bone. Though a lot of characters were there but the intro was not so much rapid. Here at first we hear about Jamie Fraser who comes to life out of nowhere and his wife is now married to the only person he ever trusted.
Then the illegitimate son issue gets over when he was not expecting it to happen because he was already confused on the issue if his nephew and wife. The family though splitting into pieces still has one relaxation that their daughter Brianna is safe in the future. And when the story shifts to Brianna we come to know that she too is not having an easy time.
Her son was kidnapped and her husband went to the time portal to search for him in the past leaving Brianna alone and that was the thing that the kidnapper always wanted. Thus it is confusion everywhere but the resolution is perfect like always that provides the listener something to chat about.
