Moving right along with the Outlander series, book four finds Claire and Jamie making their way to America. Jamie's aunt Jocasta lives in the Carolinas, and Jamie and Claire decide to make their home not too far away in the wild mountains, and start a homestead. Meanwhile back in the 1970s, Roger Wakefield found the Fraser's death notice while doing some research and debates over whether or not he should tell Brianna. He knows if he does, she'll want to travel back in time and warn her parents about their upcoming and potentially avoidable deaths. Roger figures out Brianna has already left through the stones and follows her six weeks later, catching up to her in America. There were a lot of fun scenes in this book: Brianna meeting her Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ian in Scotland, Brianna meeting Jamie, Jamie meeting Roger.
I love "Pride and Prejudice", and I've read a lot of the books inspired by or written about the same characters. Some have been pretty good, others not so much, but I really liked this one. Charlotte married Mr. Collins after Lizzie refused him, and moved to Kent. Three years later they have a baby girl named Louisa. Charlotte knows she should be grateful for the comfortable, safe, and secure life she has, but she's aching for love. Then she meets Mr. Travis, one of Lady Catherine's tenant farmers. Despite never having a male friend, the two of them hit it off and look for excuses to run into each other. Their sweet, budding, hesitant friendship is cut short though when Mr. Bennett dies, leaving Mr. Collins the new master of Longbourn. It was a nice, kind, gentle sort of book that unfortunately doesn't come out very often (or I don't read very often) but it was perfect after the fourth Outlander book. I needed something light :)
