Publisher's Summary

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon returns to her Outlander universe in The Space Between, an irresistible novella brimming with adventure, history, and suspense - and available for the first time as a standalone audiobook.

Joan MacKimmie is on her way to Paris to take up her vocation as a nun. Yet her decision is less a matter of faith than fear, for Joan is plagued by mysterious voices that speak of the future, and by visions that mark those about to die. The sanctuary of the nunnery promises respite from these unwanted visitations...or so she prays. Her chaperone is Michael Murray, a young widower who, though he still mourns the death of his wife, finds himself powerfully drawn to his charge.

But when the time-traveling Comte St. Germain learns of Joan’s presence in Paris, and of her link to Claire Fraser - La Dame Blanche - Murray is drawn into a battle whose stakes are not merely the life but the very soul of the Scotswoman who, without even trying, has won his heart.

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Need More!

I loved this book so much, I've listened twice and have been thinking lately about adding a third read to this title. I love Davina Porter's deliverance. Honestly, anything read by her is automatically golden in my eyes!

As far as this book goes, this is by far my most favourite one of Diana Gabaldon's books. I love how she wrote it, so thoughtful and precise for each character. I am so enthralled in Joan & Michael's, and St. Germain & Racootzy's (sorry for the spelling!) stories/lives/futures I seriously need more! More blue auras; more voices; more grey auras; more all of it!!!

Lovely story

Loved hearing Davina Porter. The story gives us answers about certain characters and a look inside grief.

Interesting and entertaining adventure!

Diana Galbaldon's novella is a good adventure for a group overlapping characters. Great for an afternnoon of a rainy or snowy day.
Davina Porter again gives a great narration, adding the different accents of the characters.
Wonderful to listen to this shorter book of the Outlander storylines.
