Summary
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, 20 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.
Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters.

Great storyline
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’

Diana has found a new platform for this series.
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.

Still Enjoying 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.

Excellent read with one complaint
Would you consider the audio edition of Drums of Autumn to be better than the print version?
For me personally it was as I sometimes skim read when a book has too much description or is a little long winded. By listening you hear it all.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Drums of Autumn?
When Roger decides not to go back through the stones with his family
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The description of Clare's attempt to use 20th Century medicine to save Jaime when he was bitten by a snake
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
a lot of both
Any additional comments?
I think that Diana Gabaldon has done a great deal of research into the history and language of the Scots for this series, and that Davina Porter reads the series amazingly. The sad thing is that Ms Gabaldon has let the series down by not using British words when they are being spoken by British people eg diapers, pants and Fall. It would have been a credit to her if she had
