Obliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that touches every stratum of English society—and threatens all he holds dear.Praise for Lord John and the Private Matter“[A] thoroughly entertaining and wonderfully witty historical mystery set in the richly detailed, occasionally bawdy world of Georgian England.”—Booklist “Packed with vivid description and detail.

Po tragické prohře na pláni u Cullodenu se Claire vrátila opět do 20. století a po dvacet let vychovávala v Bostonu svou dceru Briannu.

A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking.

Hořící kříž (poškozená) - Diana Gabaldon

Píše se rok 1771 a válka je na spadnutí. Manželka Jamieho to tvrdí také. A Jamie jí chtě nechtě musí věřit, neboť jeho žena ví to, co mohou znát jen cestovatelé časem. Claire se narodila v roce 1918 a během druhé světové války pracovala jako sestra a jako Cizinka putovala drsnou skotskou vysočinou. Anglická dáma se ocitla na místě, kde by žádná lady v roce 1743 neměla být. Jedinými Angličany ve Skotsku totiž tehdy byli pouze vojáci armády krále Jiřího. Claire – manželka, matka a sestra – je stále Cizinkou, putující časem, a jejím jediným záchytným bodem je láska k milovanému Jamiemu. Její znalost budoucnosti už Jamiemu několikrát pomohla, ale uvrhla ho i do mnoha nebezpečí. A revoluce se blíží... Shoří jejich životy jako papír, nebo budou dál plát jak velký oheň? V Hillsborough bylo zničeno několik domů a řada veřejných činitelů byla vyvlečena na ulici a napadána. Povídalo se, že jeden z nich, ironicky nazývaný smírčí soudce, přišel po zuřivé ráně bičem o oko.

Seven Ways to Move

Seven Ways to Move is a dynamic exploration of contrast and cohesion written after a wide-ranging discussion with Mick Broad. I was particularly inspired by Mick’s love for the energy of pulsed music, and his wish to take part in a heavy rock physical movement class.I have responded with music for solo piano – at times fluid and lyrical, at others abrupt, pulsing, or fragmented. The piece plays with shifting pulses: the hypnotic and driving alongside the grounded and deliberate. It unfolds as seven interconnected musical sections that flow seamlessly into one another. Despite their diverse characters, the seven sections are bound together by the same harmonic thread, celebrating movement in all its forms—both expected and surprising.Seven Ways to Move is dedicated to Mick Broad. I am grateful to both Mick and pianist Yuanfan Yang for the many helpful conversations along the way.
