[> [> [> [> Yes. I don't think of Jenny as an interfering type MIL. I don't remember any evidence of that in the previous books. I can't picture her bossing Rachel or coddling Ian. Jenny always strikes me as far too practical. And she knows her men. -- DianaH, Thu, October 14 2021, 8:52:19

[> [> [> [> [> But she also decides she knows what's best and acts on it. She sent for Leghair. She told Jamie about the Lumpkin, she spilled about what Claire is and who William is to Fergus, et al. I see her as a potential problem on The Ridge. -- kgp, Thu, October 14 2021, 9:09:01

[> [> [> [> [> [> All of those examples are very interesting to me. I’ve been thinking she’s older and a little mellower, maybe allowing herself to relax and give up the reins - but if that’s her nature and she can’t change? Who knows? I think Rachel’s quiet strength will totally match anything Jenny can throw her way. I think Rachel and Ian will bend toward each other to make it work. Like Claire, Rachel has “lived through war”. She’s not a shrinking violet Quaker. And just from last week’s quotes we know what a huge heart Ian has, even though he is a wolf. I love this quote so much it was the theme for my Lallybroch ornament a few years ago. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, October 14 2021, 10:26:01
