3 best books by Diana Gabaldon

The fact that historical fiction, understood as a genre capable of being compatible with other components such as romanticism or even science fiction, has been approached mostly by female writers, it gives much to think about that more capable creative aspect in their case.

Because it is a coincidence that the top sales positions for historical novels combined with any other genre are held by the Anne jacobs, Nora roberts, Lucinda riley, Maria Dueñas or own Diana Gabaldon, whom today we bring to this space.

In the case of the American narrator Diana Gabaldon we are one of the most versatile of the great pleiad mentioned above. Because if we focus solely on that primordial base of historical scenery, to its credit we find very extensive sagas about very different spaces and highly variable proposals.

El Diana Gabaldon's taste for that soft sci-fi, which fits perfectly into any plot and which invites us to fantasize from the vestiges of what we were, is one of the aspects that caught me the most.

Of course, as the current currents of the publishing industry command. We also discovered in Diana some first survey of that black genre that ends up magnetizing on some occasion any author from any other field.

Outside

With this novel was born one of the most successful sagas, I would dare to say that the entire genre of most commercial historical fiction (with pardon for Ken follet), "Outlander".

The green meadows of Scotland, its crags in constant battle with a sea from which the mist rises. A few quiet days after Europe finally defeated Hitler. Claire feels very happy that everything is over because thus the horizon of peace with her beloved. But, as happened to San Virila when taking a walk through the mountains, the young woman loses consciousness in a very special place of Celtic inspiration.

When she comes to, the world has decomposed in a past time to which she does not belong. From the 1734th century to XNUMX, the transposition has led her to a time when she will have to readjust herself to, at least, continue living in search of a return to her days.

Only that year 1734 surprises her in many ways that she would never have imagined. On either side of the strange threshold, life has to continue its march, as always, with its small intra-stories full of human passions that guide us towards all possible endings.

Drums of autumn

The fourth part of the Outlander saga already completely establishes a plot of mirrors between a few days that advance in the middle of the XNUMXth century, where Brianna, Claire's daughter lives, and an XNUMXth century in which Claire herself with her beloved Jamie seek their destiny with that kind of advantage that can be given to them by knowing what can happen in that space as past as already loved by them.

America appears on the horizon as the best option and that is where both are installed. Until Brianna, on that other side, understands that her parents may be at life risk. How not to take action when it comes to the lives of your loved ones?

Brianna's arrival in the past poses a new risk that she will soon see. But with a firm mission to find her parents and bring them to safety, nothing can stop her until she tries.

Drums of autumn

Trapped in time

As you can see, I make the leaps on some novels or others sticking to what for me represents the highest quality of the plot presented.

Because this novel, being the second part of "Outlander" is very good but it does not have as much force as Autumn Drums. Even so, the eagerness to know more about Claire once the adventure begins, supposes a frenetic advance between the pages.

She, Claire fidgets for a time when she no longer feels completely full. His obsessive behavior, among the millenary mountains of that area of ​​Scotland where he moved on his journey, is justified by the need for an encounter with those old and strange memories.

Confessing all the passions you felt on the other side of the temporal plane seems mission impossible. But at times it seems as if she is trapped in this time of hers and not so much in that other one through which she moved on her journey.

While her secrets remain safe, she undertakes an investigation with her daughter Brianna and her boyfriend Roger. An investigation for which everyone will finally be caught up in a fascinating adventure.
