What if your future lay in the past?

1946, and Claire Randall goes to the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank. It's a second honeymoon, a chance to re-establish their loving marriage. But one afternoon, Claire walks through a circle of standing stones and vanishes into 1743, where the first person she meets is a British army officer - her husband's six-times great-grandfather.

Unfortunately, Black Jack Randall is not the man his descendant is, and while trying to escape him, Claire falls into the hands of a gang of Scottish outlaws, and finds herself a Sassenach - an outlander - in danger from both Jacobites and Redcoats.

Marooned amid danger, passion and violence, 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.

Ratings and reviews

Anyone that likes historical romances this is one of thee best books that I have ever came across. I couldn't put it down, it was so intriguing. Beautifully written, love the story between the two main characters. Very realistic and puts you on a roller-coaster between laughing, crying, horror, mystery and lots of aah moments.

Bought in Australia, Cross stitch. Awsome, compelling reading. Once read you are driven to read all of them. I have bought this book for 5 friends who are hooked, one friend bought a set for her local library to share it. The details are so vivid, history, archeology, sociology, anthropology, romance, war and Sci-fi, this book is beyond description. Living in a motorhome i now keep the books digitally, for re-reading.

i absolutely love this book. actually in my opinion one of the best books out! though the only problem would be because I have read these books as hard cover, you can tell the mistakes made with this as some missing bits of the book, to more smaller mistakes such as callums name is collum. but other then the mistakes of the app ill still rate 5 out of 5

About the author

Diana Gabaldon is the author of the international bestselling Outlander novels and Lord John Grey series.

She says that the Outlander series started by accident: 'I decided to write a novel for practice in order to learn what it took to write a novel, and to decide whether I really wanted to do it for real. I did - and here we all are trying to decide what to call books that nobody can describe, but that fortunately most people seem to enjoy.'

And enjoy them they do - in their millions, all over the world. Published in 42 countries and 38 languages, in 2014 the Outlander novels were made into an acclaimed TV series starring Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser and Caitriona Balfe as Claire. Seasons three and four are currently in production.

Diana lives with her husband and dogs in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is currently at work on her ninth Outlander novel.
