Jamie et Claire FRASER ,Ian, William, Brianna, Roger, Lord John, Fergus, Marsali .....et tous nos héros préférés de " L'écho des cœurs lointains sont de nouveau parmi nous. Deux personnages s'ajoutent au récit, qui ne manquent ni de caractère ni de personnalité : Le Dr Hunter et sa sœur Rachel (très appréciée de Ian et de William),des quakers qui malgré leur amour de Dieu et leur rejet de la violence se trouvent confrontés aux affres d'une guerre sans merci. Cette guerre entre les troupes royales Anglaises et les indépendantistes Américains retarde Claire et Jaimie en route vers l’Écosse. Le courageux rescapé de Culloden prend à nouveau les armes, ce qui oblige Claire à le suivre de près avec son bistouri.
Après maintes aventures leur arrivée à Lallybroch, accompagnés d'un Ian recherché pour meurtre, est vécue comme une bénédiction. En effet le mari de Jenny, Ian, se meurt. Pourtant Claire devra rapidement retourner en Amérique avec Ian, laissant Jaimie régler de nombreux détails auprès de sa sœur. En ces périodes troublées leur séparation ne risque-telle pas d'être définitive?.......suspens !!!
Le destin n'épargne pas non plus Brianna et Roger qui au XX° siècle doivent sauver leur fils des griffes d'un dangereux personnage qui, lui aussi, "voyage dans le temps"...
Mon avis : Vous vous doutez bien que l'admiration que je porte à l'auteur est à la Hauteur du plaisir que j'ai pris à lire ce livre. Comme toujours, Diane Gabaldon nous emporte dans son univers, nous tiens d'une main de fer et nous relâche comblés à la dernière ligne.
Les références historiques toujours aussi nombreuses, précises et dignes d'intérêt, et cela nous oblige à lui pardonner le temps, trop long, qui s'écoule entre la parution des différents tomes. Ces références sont travaillées de façon scientifique, c'est RIGOUREUX !!! et j'adore ça !
De plus comment ne pas aimer un livre où l'on évoque le nom du père de NOTRE patrie : P. PAOLI qui a baptisé la ville de Pensylvanie.
Bilan : A CONSEILLER !!!!
And now In English!! :))
Jamie and Claire Fraser, Ian, William, Brianna, Roger, Lord John, Fergus, Marsala ..... and all our favorite heroes of "The echo of distant hearts are again with us. Two characters are added to the story , which is no lack of character or personality: Dr. Hunter and her sister Rachel (much appreciated by Ian and William), Quakers who despite their love of God and their rejection of violence are faced with the horrors of war without mercy. This war between the English royal troops and separatist Americans and Jaimie Claire delays en route to Scotland. The brave survivor of Culloden took up arms again, forcing Claire to follow him closely with his knife.
After many adventures they arrived in Lallybroch, accompanied by Ian wanted for murder, is seen as a blessing. In fact Jenny's husband, Ian, is dying. Yet Claire will soon return to America with Ian, leaving many details Jaimie set with her sister. In these troubled times, their separation is not likely as not to be final ?....... outstanding!
Fate spared no Brianna and Roger in the twentieth century must save their son from the clutches of a dangerous character, too, "time travel" ...
My opinion: You can imagine that the admiration I have for the author is at the height of pleasure that I took to read this book. As always, Diana Gabaldon takes us into his world, we would like an iron fist and we are continuously met in the last line.
Historical references as numerous as ever, accurate and interesting, and this requires us to forgive him over time, too long interval between the publication of different volumes. These references are worked in a scientific way is STRICT! and I love it!
Also how can we not love a book which mentions the name of the father of OUR country: P. PAOLI who named the city of Pennsylvania.
