Overview

This sixth novel in Diana Gabaldon's bestselling Outlander saga is a masterpiece of historical fiction from one of the most popular authors of our time. A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire.

The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.

With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence--with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports Jamie's death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.

  • The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon

    Kathryn S. - 5 years 6 months ago

    I loved the series. I’ve read them all as well as the stand alone ancillary books like Lord John. There was one about halfway through the series that was not as engaging. I can’t remember the exact one.....but by then I was inspired to finish the series and plodded through it. I wasn’t disappointed as the remainder were good. I would recommend to anyone who loves romance and fantasy time travel. Not appropriate for preteens. There is a lot of sexual scenes and violence. #SpringPicks

    I loved reading this book. I enjoyed it completely

  • The title is fine. The book starts with snow and ashes and ends with snow and ashes.

    Outstanding. Gabaldon is an amazing writer. She recreates the human experience with compassion, pathos, and humor throughout the book. I’ve read the whole series up to this and I won’t stop till I have finished the all.
