Virgins

A prequel in the Outlander Series, we meet Jamie Fraser just after the death of his Father and his flogging at the hands of Randall, in France with his future Brother-in-Law Ian serving as a mercenary in the French Army. To my knowledge 100 lashes with the cat of nine tails would have been a death sentence. Even did a man survive a severe flogging it seems to me that the muscles of his back would be maimed for life. The men do most of their swearing in French but the language and talk is as bawdy as you’d expect.
