Books like An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

In the seventh book of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander saga, *An Echo in the Bone*, Jamie Fraser, a former Jacobite and reluctant rebel, faces the challenges of the American Revolution. He knows the outcome will favor the Americans, but he doubts that victory guarantees safety, and he fears confronting an illegitimate son serving in the British army. Claire Randall, who travels back to the eighteenth century with him, shares his belief in an American victory but recognizes the hidden costs. Meanwhile, in the twentieth century, their daughter Brianna and husband Roger MacKenzie settle in a historic Scottish estate. Claire’s surviving letters open a window across two centuries, revealing the couple’s flight from North Carolina, their encounters with privateers, and the battle‑scarred love that binds them. As Brianna and Roger search for clues about Claire’s fate, their own lineage becomes entwined with the war‑torn colonial America in the Highlands. The novel features cameo appearances by historical figures such as Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin.
