Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is the ninth novel in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, which follows Claire and Jamie Fraser and their family and friends. For maximum comprehension, it is important to note key details from the past eight novels.
Claire is an accidental time traveler who, in the first book, Outlander, finds herself in 1743. She marries Jamie. Claire falls in love with Jamie and decides to stay. Jamie is tortured by Jonathan Randall after being arrested and imprisoned; Claire rescues him, and they flee to France.
In Firefly in Amber, Jamie and Claire attempt to stop the Jacobite uprising, but this fails. On the eve of the Battle of Culloden, Jamie, believing he will die in battle, sends a pregnant Claire back to the future because he wants to prevent her from having a second stillbirth. The third novel, Voyager, brings Jamie and Claire back together after 20 years. Claire kills her nemesis, Geillis Duncan, before she and Jamie are shipwrecked off the coast of Georgia.
Drums of Autumn reunites Claire with her daughter, Brianna.
