Which leads me to…this book was super slow to start and I have had it on my nightstand for ages, reading 50 pages here and there but never excited to pick it back up. In true Outlander fashion (I feel), once it picks up, it rolls. It’s not a fast story by any means, and think it may have been the author who said this is a story about a long marriage, not a story about the Jacobites or time travel or WWII or any of the things that happen…it’s the very messy and tumultuous creation of a family. In short, a marathon, not a sprint. Even she doesn’t know when or how it will end and she’s been writing these books for 30 years. And that’s all I have to say about that…as much to myself as anyone else. Her writing style remains the same, reliable, witty and intelligent way it’s always been. The story weaves in some really mundane and equally intense themes, some sweet and concise, others graphic and violent. They are what they are, no more, no less.
