While reading the novel, I was trying to figure out how the title related to the book, and I was way off. I presumed once hearing of another Beauchamp, possibly of relation to Claire, that "An Echo in the Bone" was literally a physical resemblance to Claire (something like having similar bone structure in the face and in meeting this relation cause the "echo", which is not right I know because with Claire it's all about the eyes). However, I kept clinging to this notion because I want Claire to find some family (I know Jamie is all she needs), but her speculation about the geneological chart Frank made for her and such kept me on this path. Anyway...loved the book!Emily H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13787399247392317028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-85463637844941570962008-11-05T14:30:00.000-08:002008-11-05T14:30:00.000-08:00In Drums, at the end of Home for the Holidays, Rog...In Drums, at the end of Home for the Holidays, Roger is struggling with being dazzled by a naked Brianna just out of the bath and distraught with the interruption of the burning cockaleekie soup. A short time later he realizes that when he touched Brianna's skin, the universe had shifted . . . he could still hear its echo in his bones.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me there are about a gazillion echoes reverberating from book to book, echoes often brought forward as the narrative progresses.

I see irma has said just the same.)Master Gardenershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033525011827488492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-11457492672589482392008-11-05T12:06:00.000-08:002008-11-05T12:06:00.000-08:00Oops...the complete web address didn't come throug...Oops...the complete web address didn't come through.

They are plannning a display of rare and historical books and artifacts; some dating back almost 400 years. There's a great picture of the medicine cabinet used to treat Bonnie Prince Charlie! Very exciting just to even look at the picture!

"An echo in the Bone" is such an evocative title I'm sure people will be picking it up with no idea of the evolving saga that is Claire and Jamie, and I of course, will be more than happy to recommend (as I do already) the rest of the series.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228587006300646057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-10239850554788622532008-11-02T19:52:00.000-08:002008-11-02T19:52:00.000-08:00Irma, that is a really interesting intersection......Irma, that is a really interesting intersection... if it is intentional or not, it still is really cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539286824195140523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-4741586557431703192008-11-02T16:07:00.000-08:002008-11-02T16:07:00.000-08:00As an afficionado of Good Titles, I have to say th...As an afficionado of Good Titles, I have to say that you do know how to do them well - but "An Echo In The Bone" is one of the most evocative.
