Outlander Book Club: Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone Chapter 29 breakdown

Aidan gets his revenge in Outlander Book 9, Chapter 29

There is a little bit of sympathy for the bear in Outlander Book 9, Chapter 29. However, for most people, it’s all about killing it.

It’s hard to say that it’s a revenge killing. After all, the bear was just doing what bears do. It’s humans that do things out of anger, spite, or just plain craziness. Animals are animals and don’t have the same awareness. But try telling that to a 12-year-old boy who is grieving the loss of his mother.

Hunting the bear isn’t an act of revenge for Jamie or Ian, though. It’s an act to keep the people of the Ridge safe. This is likely the same bear that attacked Jamie a few chapters ago, so we know it’s a danger to the people.

Meanwhile, Bree finds something that she can do to help Amy. I love that she figures it out, and it’s not just about looking after the children.

This chapter brings us an element of closure for Amy’s death. I’ll get to my thoughts on that in the foreshadowing section.

Again, though, I don’t see the chapter being used in the TV series. I’ll get to my thoughts on that in the adaptation section.

Let’s dive into Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone Chapter 29.
