The few extra bits they put in only enhances the greatness. The attempted rapes were in the books but DG writes so much in between the incidents that it when the book is compressed into such a short amount of time the incidents seem to happen more frequently. The TV series will be 16 hours whereas the unabridged audiobook is 33 hours.

Plus I had my own ideas of what Claire & Jamie would look like though now that I've watched the series (and enjoyed it!); I don't mind Jamie as much though Claire, I'm still not convinced. What I really liked in the series is the flashback to 'present times' with Frank... I don't remember these bits in the book (?) But yes, stunning views! I think there were as many 'rape' incidents in the book but it just didn't feel that many because they happened quite a bit apart seeing the thickness of the tome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-90725571503859724942014-11-02T19:23:35.019-08:002014-11-02T19:23:35.019-08:00I am loving the show. There is a lot of attention ...I am loving the show. There is a lot of attention paid to rape. Nd more in the next books in the series. Violence is present a lot in the stories. I have been verra, verra happy with the series. And yes, Claire does fend off attack. It is a way, I think of presenting. in a way modern women can understand, just how vulnerable a woman was. Rape is standing in for a lot of the things we accept; a woman who was raped was ruined. It was her fault. While we still have that today it is also seen as ridiculous. But a woman on her own was very much alone and absent of male protection, very vulnerable and not just from sexual violence - women were also vulnerable financially, legally, and socially.
