Unrivaled storytelling. Unforgettable characters. Rich historical
detail. These are the hallmarks of Diana Gabaldon's work. Her New York
Times bestselling Outlander novels have earned the praise of critics
and captured the hearts of millions of fans. Here is the story that
started it all, introducing two remarkable characters, Claire Beauchamp
Randall and Jamie Fraser, in a spellbinding novel of passion and history
that combines exhilarating adventure with a love story for the ages.
Scottish Highlands, 1945. Claire Randall, a former British combat nurse,
is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second
honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient
circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an
"outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding clans in the year of
Our Lord . . . 1743.
Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of a world that threatens her
life, and may shatter her heart. Marooned amid danger, passion, and
violence, Claire learns her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser,
a gallant young Scots warrior. What begins in compulsion becomes urgent
need, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in
two irreconcilable lives. between fidelity and desire--and between two
vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
