Expand Re: your hidden questions: Reveal spoiler He marries her mainly out of loneliness and pity. She's been widowed and has two daughters, and Jenny throws them together. He goes along with it because, basically... he's depressed. He's just come back from his probationary period at Helwater, and doesn't feel like he fits in with life at Lallybroch, or anywhere else. He's been through so much, and lost so much, that it's sort of a "yeah, whatever" situation. He isn't enthusiastic, but he's seeking a place to belong and a purpose. And he tries to do right by her, but he doesn't understand her, and she flinches away from him when he tries to get intimate. He divorces her, I guess you could say, (spoiler is on the reason, since you didn't specifically ask that)... Reveal spoiler when Claire comes back, though technically, Claire coming back made him a bigamist. It's messy. In the end, she's a grandma. Still alive, still kind of resented, but taken with a sense of "it is what it is" and Jamie does eventually try to reach a detente with her.

Jamie suspects someone hurt her and Marsali mentions that her second husband was abusive. Jamie does try, but he just doesn't understand her. There's a lot of misunderstanding between them that leads to a lot of resentment on Laohaire's part and Jamie just doesn't know how make it work with her. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14806-ask-the-outlanders-questions-for-the-bookreaders/page/7/#findComment-2289408

Expand Reveal spoiler After Claire returns to her time, Jamie endures a lot of loneliness and suffering but is eventually able to come back home and live openly in Scotland. Jenny thinks it will make Jamie a bit more content, to be married again and pushes for the match. Laoghaire is widowed with two daughters—the first husband died in The Rising, the second was arrested after the Rising and died in prison—when Jamie marries her. Before Claire comes back to the 18th century, Jamie and Laoghaire were already living separate lives, but she's...not happy to see her old rival. The marriage is declared invalid due to Claire still being alive, but Laoghaire does not go quietly.

Laurie October 25, 2016 Share October 25, 2016 Grashka, It's in Echo. I've been rereading the series...again...and came across it today. I think it's about Chapter 25 of 26. When I read it I thought, "Hey! Someone asked about that passage." 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14806-ask-the-outlanders-questions-for-the-bookreaders/page/7/#findComment-2683488

Ruthie July 3, 2017 Share July 3, 2017 Hi - I have read every one of the Outlander books to date, starting with the English version Cross Stitch, many years ago. I have now started to watch the box set of the series and thoroughly enjoying it, however I have a couple of questions: 1) In Series 1, Claire is held in Castle Leoch where she starts to practice healing. I do not remember her going to Castle Leoch prior to marrying Jamie in the book. I though the wedding took place before they even got to know each other properly - please can you remind me of the early events in the book? 2) I do not recall Frank observing the 'ghost' watching Claire brush her hair through the hotel window - did this happen in the book? And, also, who is the ghost supposed to be? Thanks Ruthie Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14806-ask-the-outlanders-questions-for-the-bookreaders/page/7/#findComment-3425710

Expand Claire does indeed go to Leoch before she and Jamie are married. That pretty much happens the same in the book: Reveal spoiler Claire falls through the stones and is saved from Black Jack by Murtagh and then taken to the cottage where she meets all the highlanders, sets Jamie's shoulder and Dougal, worried she might be a spy, decides to take her with them to Leoch. They do the overnight ride back to Leoch together and are even ambushed pretty much as told in the book. The main differences in the first couple episodes, as I recall, are: there's more time with Frank and Claire on the show than there is in the book; there's some characters shifted around a bit; and I think in the book Claire spends more time at Leoch settling in and finding her place in the past before they head off on the rent trip that accumulates in her returning to Leoch married to Jamie. But, your impression that Jamie and Claire didn't really know each other in the book compared to the show is probably accurate. I mean, they don't really know each other until they get married either way, but Jamie was more of a mystery in the book, as I recall.

There's a lot of speculation who the ghost is--I assume it's Jamie--but Diana has said she'll reveal that in the final book.
