I had a hard time with this book at first - it seemed so different than Outlander and I didn’t love Lord John yet. But I learned a lot. The horror of venereal diseases back then was made very clear to me. They really were a death sentence. The callousness of Trevelyan, I love Diana’s sarcastic “Honorable.” And how in a few sentences she shows how different live was just on the other side of a door. -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board
