Claire's age in Breath of Snow and Ashes?

How old is Claire now? I think Jamie is about 53?

About half way through the book and loving it--enjoying it much more
than FC, actually.

Let's see, when she came back in Voyager she would have been about 47-48, so
I'd put her at 51-52. Jamie would be 4 or 5 years younger, though.

Someone who watches these things more closely than I do will come along
shortly, I'm sure.:)

I'm about halfway through now, also. I'm beginning to feel that sorrow that
comes with finishing one of these books and knowing it'll be year until
another one.:(

Hi Elise,

I had to look this up in the Outlandish Companion but here are Jamie and
Claire's exact dates of birth:

Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser October 20, 1918 2:09
pm London
James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser May 1, 1721 6:30 pm (approx)
near Inverness

Outlander starts out in 1946 and Claire was 28. When she goes through
stones, it's then 1743 (so her adjusted date of birth would be:
1743-28=1715) and Jamie is 22. There's a six year age difference with
Claire being the older of the two of course. So, in ABOSAA, it ends in 1776
where Claire is 61 and Jamie is 55. You were close!

Of course that's if I've figured it out correctly. LOL! Time travel makes
things interesting that's for sure!

Alida, thanks for posting that. I could not remember how old Claire
was when she first went through the stones. If I could, I might have
been able to work the math. Then agan...I'm more a word person than a
number person. ;)

200-ish pages to go in reading BOSAA; I'm quite in love with Jem and
Germaine...such boys!
