Jamie Fraser's role in this book is minor. Clearly he's important to Sir John, but the reason isn't adequately explained. I did read the first in this series, and I still wouldn't have understood without having already read the Outlander books. I thought this was supposed to be a series in its own right? That said, I loved the implicit humor, and pathos, in Sir John and his brother Hal working so hard to protect their mother when she's so obviously capable of protecting not only herself but them. I'm reading "The Outlandish Companion" and Gabaldon makes very clear that weak women bore her. Bennedicta's definitely not a weak woman, and neither is her neice Olivia.
