Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon


I really enjoyed Outlander and this is the second book in the series about a woman from the 1940's who time-travels back to 18th century Scotland.  This book starts twenty years later in the current time (the 1960's), when she visits Scotland with her daughter.  In this sequel, in the past, she and her husband Jamie travel to France to try to prevent a bloody revolution in Scotland. 

The book was a continuation of Outlander and I enjoyed it in a similar way.  While some of the fun of the first book was the novelty of the time travel and the story, the plot in this book is still compelling.  There was more historical information to keep track of in this book too.  Finally, I liked how this book also starts to play around with some of the metaphysical problems with time travel.

Looking forward to reading the next book in a few months.
