It seems like he tells her most everything, but not the story of the (dead) French Girl.

My students told me I was a nerd when I said I was contacting an author, but we’re impressed when I actually got a response!

Did I miss something? Who is the nameless French girl that Jamie references as he is returning to Claire with his sister in Echo in the Bone…page 1082? Any answers out there possibly in something I haven’t read?

Of course I remember you–nice to meet you again! Glad you’ve been enjoying OUTLANDER! (As for people put off by violence…well, not all books are for all readers. And I do think that some people come to that book under the (rather mistaken) impression that it’s a romance novel, and are Taken Aback to discover that it’s not. [g])

Happy Easter, and Hope you enjoy the rest!

–Diana

Although you probably don’t remember me, our families were well acquainted as we grew up in Flagstaff. My father followed your father as principal of Sechrist School.
Last summer I had the privilege of spending time in the Scotland Highlands where my fellow clansmen lived. (I’m sure you guessed Clan MacGregor.) Since then I had the opportunity to read Outlander. I really enjoyed the book! In fact I have read several of the comments of other readers about the book. Though most are positive , I was surprised at the negative comments regarding the violence of the book. Quite possibly those were from squeamish people, however, in my own research I have learned about what a violent place the Highlands were during that time period! The violence in your story is really quite in alignment with the reality of that time. I know the Outlander characters are fictional, but I almost wonder if some of your research might have included the MacGregor Clan. Some of the chief’s names were Colum (Lord Mail Coluim MacGregor), William and Dougal (William Dougeal MacGregor, 9th Lord) , or (King Dougallus MacGregor),and Ian (Sir Eoin mac Gregor).
I didn’t realize my personal connection with you until I had read part of Outlander. Then the book was even more exciting for me. I have just begun Dragonfly, and I will be gifting Outlander to my sisters next weekend at our sister weekend.

I find myself thinking in “Scottish” while in the midst of re-reading one of them. I’ve just finished An Echo In the Bone again in anticipation of the next one and now find myself anxious about Jemmy in the tunnel, Roger through the stones, and Claire and Jamie and the “new” husband! Please write quickly, I’m a nervous wreck!

Be that as it may. mmphm,
I have also wondered what happened to Fraser’s Ridge? I can’t believe the MacKenzies would come back and not want to go and see at any point what had become of what they had been helping to build up in the mountains of North Carolina, but they seem to have no curiousity about it whatsoever. It’s just a niggling question, is all. If it was me, I would want to know.
Looking forward to more! And thank you for giving these people to me.

The book club adored Outlander! One member has yet to finish, but she is listening to the audio version. Two have started Dragonfly while another has begun Voyager. All intend to finish the series AND two new members came just because they knew we were discussing Outlander. How great is that?! We all expect the ‘review’ in the agency newsletter to increase our membership.
Best of all: I have Gabaldon Groupies to share the anticipation of MOBY’s release.
