Life belongs to them consequently since Brianna, their daughter, saw in security - at least they believe it - in a heavy future of dangers. They will manufacture their existence therefore as they hear it, by taking a new departure with a group of Scottish exiled in the New World to escape the oppression of the English Crown. But History spares nobody... When Brianna joins them in the past, even isolated mountains in which they found shelter cannot protect, Fraser, because the young woman arrives of the XXth century invested with a double mission to find the mother whom she lost and a father who she does not know and, especially, save them from a tragic future the key of which alone she detains. Before the doors of time close again on them... In this fourth shutter of saga ' The Stony circle ', Diana Gabaldon explores with humour and passion the myths of the birth of the American nation, juxtaposing with virtuosity the first manned flight on the Moon and Western conquest, the puritanism of the fathers pilgrims and sexual revolution.
