To add to the time spent indoors in this heat...I have just completed
(sob, sob) 5 of the "GREATEST" books on Scottish settlement..by PhD
Diana Gabaldon

IF you want to be enchanted and can keep families straight ( large cast
of characters!) you will LOVE her work. and ONE MUST READ THEM IN
ORDER!!
I found her by accident and started with Drums of Autum..4 and wondered.
then ordered the rest from inter-library loan.
I had never read her before OUTSTANDING...I am English & Scots desc.
Here they are:
OUTLANDER (entitled "Cross Stitch" in England)
story of an English WW II nurse in 1946- time- traveller ends up back in
1745!
DRAGONFLY IN AMBER
VOYAGER
DRUMS OF AUTUMN -to USA 1776
And then IF you can't keep it all straight, she wrote
The OUTLANDISH COMPANION to explains Gaelic, botany terms, etc, etc.
Fascinating. historical times to 'flesh out ' our ancestors' times and
lives.!!!

Talk about a wealth of detail...NC Caribbean,,how they were transported,
etc after the '1715 Rising, and Culloden 1745, etc...
the history one needs to get us set straight about our ancestors' times
and history ( as close as one may get in an historical novel).etc...HATE
TO SEE THEM END!!
