Publisher's summary

This stunning blend of historical romance and time traveling adventure has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world and catapulted author Diana Gabaldon to the top of the New York Times best seller list. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in an ancient stone ruin and is instantly transported to 1743 Scotland, a place torn by war and raiding border clans. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?

Critic reviews

"Davina Porter maintains the distinct voices she creates for each character throughout the lengthy narration. Her delivery of 18th-century language sounds authentic and is easily understandable." (AudioFile)

Too brutal!

Ms. Gabaldon seems homophobic. Jack Randal is the most vile creature. She could have softened him a bi.

Wonderful & Engaging

This has to be one of my favorite books now, and the narrator was AMAZING. The book is long, but kept me rapt the entire way through, while still being a relaxing listen. Can't wait to get the others!

V good overall

The lead character annoyed me a bit but overall I enjoyed the story. The sound quality wasn't the best as I could hear quiet background noise throughout.
