A friend of mine had offered me her series of books by Diana
Gabaldon a while ago and I thought – meh…...historical novels aren’t my
thing. However, when I looked at all the
challenges in this adult reading programme I realised I had read most of (and
then watched) pretty much all of the suggested books/movies apart from this
one. So, stepping out of my comfort zone
I put on the DVD...
OH MY! What a
series! Claire – what a fantastic
leading lady – full of passion, fight and intelligence. And Jamie, the ruggedly handsome, thoughtful,
kind… (did I say handsome?!) ...highlander!
The series held more than I expected.
It showcased some stunning scenery (not just Jamie), dealt with some
incredibly intense issues, was racy, sad and funny and totally held my
attention.
The only problem now is should I just get series two on DVD
or read the whole series?!
