The Flight of Gemma Hardy, by Margot Livesey

Pretty good, though I honestly kept forgetting this was set in the 60s--it was a bit closer to the Jane Eyre feeling than anything modern. Still, this was a pretty honest retelling of the basic story of a very enclosed and unemotional girl suddenly exposed to love for the first time since childhood and losing her idealism.

Still not real clear on the whole Iceland connection part, though. Otherwise, this was a fun book.

The Scottish Prisoner, by Diana Gabaldon

Hmm, I need to reread the "Companion" to see how this fits in and to figure out...a bunch of stuff. Anyway, this is about Lord John and Jamie going to Ireland to stop an Irish plot to restart the rebellion that ended at Culloden. A bit silly, but the story is less important than John and Jamie equalizing their relationship. This is also prior to John's marriage, so Jamie is still living at Helwater as the (paroled) prisoner of the title.

An Echo in the Bone, by Diana Gabaldon (on CD)

Holy COW, Diana! Is there ANY research that you've done that you have NOT included in the book?? So this covers less than two years (1776-1778) three countries (U.S., Scotland, and France), and 40 CDs!!!

I had to stop a couple of times and 'clear my palate' for a day or two, but I had to get back and finish the story...
...which left me hanging as far as Jemmy's fate, not to mention Claire, who is now a bigamist, and the whole Ian mess.

The Exile : An Outlander Graphic Novel, by Diana Gabaldon ; illustrated by Hoang Nguyen

This is only the first third or so of the first book in the Outlander series, but it's quite interesting to see how the story changes a bit when it's told only in pictures, and more from the third-person point of view. Or maybe it's supposed to be Jamie's point of view. Still. Jamie=adorable. Claire=more annoying in pictures than text. Warning: must be able to 'read' tartans to follow the story coherently.

Exit Music, by Ian Rankin (on CD)

Very hard to understand the accent of Inspector Rebus, but that's ok seeing as how he Scottish. Great. Kind of a depressing story though, based as it is on the retirement of Rebus.

Pursuit and Persuasion, by Sally Wright

Good mystery. Set in the early 60s in Scotland but 'starring' an American archivist.
