Voyager A Novel

Die historischen Details sind gut und spannend eingebaut in eine Liebesgeschichte die durch den fantasy-background seine besondere Würze bekommt.

"Voyager" is the third installment of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander saga and just as riveting as the previous two books. It's been two decades since Claire had to leave Jamie behind in order to escape the infamous battle of Culloden. She's always believed that he had died in battle, but when Roger uncovers proof that he survived, Claire has a difficult decision to make: Stay in her native time and never see him again or leave her daughter behind and travel back in time to find him. Nobody ever said love was easy, especially when it comes to the Frasers. I just love this series. Claire and Jamie are great characters separately and make an even better couple. I love their dynamic, their compromises, Claire's strength and Jamie's open-mindedness. The story might be confusing to some and seem to be all over the place at times, but I enjoy their journey immensely. I am very glad that Gabaldon doesn't just gloss over the 20 years Claire and Jamie spent apart. It's great, albeit hard, to read what happened to Jamie during that time. Some of the choices he made made me positively furious, but I love how everything turns out in the end, regardless. If you enjoy historical novels and great romances and somehow haven't already stumbled upon this series, I strongly suggest you pick it up.
