So fun to run across a Gabaldon fan out of the blue. I will read anything and everything, but rarely reread. I’ve read Outlander at least seven times–I’ve finally lost count–not to mention the others in the series. I was not familiar with Donati until recently and have her on my “to read” list. Gabaldon’s characters and stories are deep, complex studies in honor and commitment, among other things–in addition to being voraciously alive. Every time I restart Outlander, I say THIS time I’m going to pay attentiont to HOW she does what she does, but after a few chapters I’m swept along again.
