An Echo in the Bone discussion

In this last book Clare says somewhere towards the end to Lord John that she knows Brianna told him what or who they are (meaning from the future).

Did I miss something? I remember Brianna and Lord John having a conversation before she went back to the future about getting to know her brother if possible before doing so but I do NOT remember her telling him they're from the 1900's.

At the time she was trying to reason with Lord John I remember hoping she'd tell him the truth. Is that conversation in the book? Did I skip something?

I know it's not in this book, as the conversation takes place before they go back to the future but I didn't want to spoil it and post the question under the previous book in case that conversation doesn't exist and we're not meant to know until Clare mentions it to Lord John at the end of An Echo in the Bone.

DG was very discreet about that conversation; it was more implied than directly stated. You could have missed it.

Was it really THAT long ago? Wasn't that in DOA that they had gotten close?

Do either of you recall how it was implied? I find it crazy that she wrote so many books in between and never once alluded to it until the end of the last book.

LOL How many times have you read them?

For me, it has only been twice.

Lord John tells Claire that he knows "everything" and Claire's reaction was along the lines of "everything?" Not sure if in DoA or ABOSAA. Hmmm. Time for a re-read myself. I've got time. #88 on the library list for MOBY.

Yes. That happens in the last book, An Echo In the Bone. My question was though, when did he learn everything? Apparently Bree told him but I don't remember reading it any of the books.

I read the account over when Bree was pregnant and spending time with LJ (as another poster suggested it was then) in Dragonfly In Amber but there was nothing there to hint that she told him at that time.
