I read the books in this french translation (by Philippe Safavi) and because I fould it often clumsy, or heavy, I tried to read the english version. I bought an english book (Arrow books, penguin edition) and when I re read the chapter "raiders in the rocks", I couldn't find this really hot scene between Claire and Jamie, having sex just after the battle. I compare my 2 versions, and they are 2 pages missing. The english editors are more prudish than the americans ? It surprised me.Oncothoraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706964891354084782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-29109828496351064402019-02-11T23:16:43.331-05:002019-02-11T23:16:43.331-05:00Is there any change on the other books or just Out...Is there any change on the other books or just Outlander?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914724580595149031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-52437519648513703672017-09-23T05:54:40.256-04:002017-09-23T05:54:40.256-04:00 And after reading Outlander and picking up Cross ... And after reading Outlander and picking up Cross Stitch, I see, In the Reckonings chapter in Outlander, Jamie raises his sandy eyebrows, while in Cross Stitch, he raises his coppery eyebrows (Coppery makes a lot more sense for a ginger, yes?)BarbaraElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-33675047590737747662015-09-25T19:30:34.014-04:002015-09-25T19:30:34.014-04:00Where is the original story where Clare travels ba...Where is the original story where Clare travels back through the stones when Jamie goes off to fight at Culloden??? Hence there is no travelling to France, not in the original story. The 2nd sequel book begins with Claire going back through the stones 20 years later. I can't find the original storyline mentioned at all, only a few differences here and there??!!

Having read Cross Sti...Thanks for this again Karen. Having read Cross Stitch first and frequently, and come to Outlander later (and now on audio) I see it slightly differently. There are some strange things, like missing scenes, but a lot of the small alterations make sense - 1946 is better as the war didn't end until August 1945 , flourescent light (in Wentworth in 1946 - no idea when it was invented but certainly not in common use til the 60s) is changed to electric light in Cross Stitch. (I hadn't noticed this when I read Outlander but it jarred recently when I heard it on the audio version) <br />A lot of the plant and wildlife are not native to Scotland or indeed Europe so the editor has changed them to something (usually)appropriate which is. <br /> I may be wrong here but I suspect a lot of the 'errors' are due to Diana not expecting the book to be published and certainly not to be scrutinised by people in a country she was writing about but had never visited. It probably didn't seem necessary to check all the flora and fauna. <br /> I don't notice the same errors (except a few geographical ones - Diana admits her geography is awful - and the use of Buckingham Palace as the King's residence in Scottish Prisoner) in the later books and of course once the action moves to the US I can believe anything!<br /> Interesting topic and thanks again for bringing it up while I'm listening to Outlander!Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-27208346001446095172012-08-20T08:55:42.575-04:002012-08-20T08:55:42.575-04:00Another good source discussing the differences bet...Another good source discussing the differences between Outlander and Cross Stitch is in The Outlandish Companion (Through the Stones in the UK.)<br /><br />JerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-66608806377812215652012-08-20T08:12:46.145-04:002012-08-20T08:12:46.145-04:00Thanks for re-sharing these differences in CS and ...Thanks for re-sharing these differences in CS and Outlander. I didn't see them the first time around and it was great to read them.
