Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, #2)
Diana Gabaldon
An alternate cover edition can be found here. From the author of Outlander... a magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves....

LOVED IT.
Again, many many characters and it's a long epic over time. There's lots of politics (of history) that I am not knowledgeable about, so sometimes I skimmed over those paragraphs to get to the juicy bits, haha.
In this sequel, similarly to the first, it was a slow start but by about halfway through I couldn't put it down!
I bet in a few years I will re-read this series and be able to follow a lot more of the plot because I will be better able to understand the reasoning behind character choices when I have an idea of what's coming.
