About this listen

Diana Gabaldon’s fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre–Revolutionary America.

Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century.

The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior, but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, twenty years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

Critic reviews

"Gabaldon's range is impressive, whether she's evoking the rawness of colonial America, the cozy clutter of a modern Scottish parsonage, the lusts of the body or the yearnings of the spirit. Her legion of fans will love diving into this ocean of romance." ( Publishers Weekly)

Outlander is a really good story but does go on a bit sometimes. Bear with it.

The Saga continues. I'm still enjoying the plot. There's plenty of adventure and colour, love romance, violence and a bit of gore. They were harsher times for sure! Downside? While I love this narrator, her pronunciations can be a bit strange at times.

Still Enjoying it. .

What did you like most about Drums of Autumn?

Brilliant adventure, pace and standard maintained from earlier novels.
Davina Porter is probably best narrator I have heard. Her range is amazing

What was one of the most memorable moments of Drums of Autumn?

Too many to identify one,

Which character – as performed by Davina Porter – was your favourite?

Claire obviously, the dry wit of the character is superb.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both

Any additional comments?

Brilliant as it was, the story wouldn't have been as powerful without the narration

Keep it up

An epic drama following the lives of Claire and Jamie and their daughter Brianna. Set in 1770 and modern times, this time-travelling plot has plenty of adventure and excitement. The characters are drawn well, the main three being likeable and believable. It is read well, the only criticism is the annoying mispronunciation of ‘plaid’, ‘rowan’ and ‘respite’

Great storyline

A bit slow and repetitive at the start but well worth the perseverance
The range of voices and vocal character is 1st Class.
The.editor needs to check who is where and when, and to remind the listener how a character had developed in an earlier book.

Diana has found a new platform for this series.

Davina is superb at narrating the Outlander series, she brings every character to life. Every book is fantastic, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to them all, eagerly awaiting Diana’s final book in this series!
