Outlander, A Novel

Claire Randall, a WW#2 nurse is on a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands with her husband of 8 years when she finds herself mysteriously hurled back in time nearly 2 centuries. When I decided to borrow the Outlander Series I'd no idea it ran to 7000 pages and book one was nearly 900.

I began reading this series out of curiosity to see what all the fuss was about and must admit that a couple hundred pages in I'm hooked. Narrated by Claire it follows her Highland Adventures in Eighteenth Century Scotland in the process introducing us to the herbal lore she learned as a substitute for Twentieth Century medicine.

Claire and Jamie Fraser have a penchant for getting themselves into trouble on two occasions Claire because she will not take orders from her Scottish Laird.
