I have asked myself many of the same questions. But I do remember Jamie having a vision (dream) after Brianna and family go back through the stones. He described the room at the old manse they were sitting in and gave a very accurate description of a telephone. Since the “arrow of time” does not travel a straight line in these novels, perhaps the ghost is the reason Claire goes through the stones to begin with. They have such deep connections and physical memories of each other. UMMMM!

Doubt that stickling will do you much good in this instance; Jamie is a ghost, not a time-traveler (we’ve made it explicit in the books that he can’t travel through the stones). [g]

But yes, the ghost’s presence will be explained–but it’s the last thing in the last book, so may be awhile.

Best,

–Diana

Just wanted to ask you when you will give an explanation of who was standing in the shadows looking up at Claire. Everyone presumes its Jamie, but what we all want to know is, how did he get there, what year did he leave from, does he know he went there, and does Claire ever find out? I am a stickler for details like time-frames and I think that if Claire left th 20th century in 1946, stayed away for 3 years, was back for 20 years, that would mean she returned to the 18th century in 1969 at age 51. Is that what your books reflect? Specifically Voyager? In the Starz tv series, Claire has no underarm hair. Does that mean she borrows a razor and is shaving in the 18th century? Have not read all the books, but when a person travels through the stones, don’t they come out on the other side of the stones, or can they just come out to wherever the person they are focused on is at that moment?

Thanks you so much and keep up the superb writing?
Kind regards
Margie
