![]() Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone picks up where Written in My Own Heart’s Blood left off. I don’t mind Lord John himself but have very little interest in Hal, Ben, Amaranthus, Dottie or Percy!Īnyway, if you’re new to the series, should you start with this book? My answer would be no – definitely not! Start at the beginning, when 1940s nurse Claire Randall first steps inside a stone circle in Scotland and finds herself transported to the 18th century, then read the books in order, otherwise you’re going to be very confused. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, though, part of my problem is that I’ve never been a fan of the Lord John Grey spin-off series, and Lord John and his family have played an increasingly large part in these most recent novels when I would prefer to be reading about other characters. ![]() In this book, the final sequence – 100 pages or so – is excellent, but to get there you have to persist through 800 pages of irrelevant subplots that seem to lead nowhere and minor characters we barely know suddenly given large storylines of their own. This is the ninth Outlander novel and the last one that I really enjoyed was the sixth since then, each book has felt longer and less substantial than the one before. Sometimes I wonder why I’m continuing to read this series. ![]()

Macdonald also met her future husband, the Rev. It was at the Oneida Seminary that she met her long-time friend (and eventual co-author), Theodosia Toll, who secretly submitted one of Macdonald's manuscripts in a competition, setting in motion a chain of events that would lead to the publication of her first book, Helen Lester, in 1865.

The description below explains which characters appear in which stories. All of the novellas feature people from the main series, including Jamie and/or Claire on occasion. ( THE SCOTTISH PRISONER, for example, features both Lord John and Jamie Fraser in a shared story). The shorter novels focus on the adventures of Lord John Grey but intersect with the larger books. The Big Books of the main series deal with the lives and times of Claire and Jamie Fraser. These deal frequently-but not exclusively-with secondary characters, are prequels or sequels, and/or fill some lacuna left in the original story lines. ![]() ![]() The Bulges-These being short(er) pieces that fit somewhere inside the story lines of the novels, much in the nature of squirming prey swallowed by a large snake.

I liked that, but of course, when it was published I was really astonished that people thought it was real. But I was also thinking about On Exactitude In Science by Borges, and how it did have footnotes, and getting this really dizzy kind of feeling when I was reading it because I was believing the story as I read it as if it was actually real, as if it was a nonfiction text, not a fictional one, even though I knew perfectly well it was a fictional text. I was mildly making fun of some of my academic friends. ![]() But I was like, “I don’t want to do footnotes.” So, it ended up I liked the conceit of them being translated texts and all the about what that meant, and these made-up histories and libraries of texts that people were examining. As you know, there’s a lot of world building in The Gift, and quite early in the writing of the book my editor at the time suggested footnotes. It actually came after I wrote the story. I’d forgotten this about the earlier series, but once again you frame The Bone Queen like it was a “found text.” Is there any particular reason you decided to approach the books that way? ![]() ![]() ![]() As you emphasize, the most crucial thing in August 1920 was that he took the enormous risk to regroup his whole army in only one week.
