From Parade:
New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon shares with Parade that that doesn’t mean that Claire should feel guilty. She had been nothing but kind to the Christies, teaching Malva about medicine, and repairing Tom Christie’s (Mark Lewis Jones) hand so he didn’t lose the use of it.
“Well, I imagine she’d feel sick: not only are Malva and her child tragically dead, Tom Christie has just effectively given up his life to protect Claire from the accusation—and now she learns the truth about Malva’s death, which reveals Tom’s sacrifice (and presumed death) to have been the result of Allan’s lies,” Gabaldon says by way of explaining the plethora of emotions Claire is experiencing.
She continues, “So much carnage and loss. I think Claire feels that, along with the helplessness of not having been able to save any of the Christies, but honestly, I can’t see why she should feel guilty. Horrified and saddened, but while she’s been involved in all of this, she’s not actually responsible for any of it, and as Jamie says, she’s done no wrong to take her life from Tom’s hand.”
