Welcome back! Join me over at Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and you just might find a new book to add to your “to-be-read” pile. Today I am sharing the first lines from the second book in the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon called “Dragonfly In Amber”:
“Roger Wakefield stood in the center of the room, feeling surrounded.”
Hmmm, was Roger really surrounded and, if so, by what or who? The Outlander series is one of my absolute favorites and I am actually re-reading it now before the newest book comes out at the end of the year. Ms. Gabaldon weaves a story like no other that I have ever read and “Dragonfly In Amber” is full of historical facts that bear looking up for more information. So much was happening in Scotland around the time that is portrayed in this book and it is so sad that so much destruction had to happen to such a beautiful place.
These are long and detailed books, but they are worth the effort it takes!
