This book is one of the best I have ever read. My friend actually recommended it to me and I really wasn't sure it would be my thing. I decided to give it a go though and I am so glad I did. The relationship between Jamie and Claire is so believable, even in the strange circumstances the book is set in. Loved it and am now on the third one. If you buy this you won't regret it.
NB If anyone is wondering the order of the books is Cross Stitch; Dragonfly in Amber; Voyager; Drums in Autumn; The Fiery Cross and A Breath of Snow and Ashes.

I was at a loss as to what reading material to take on holiday. I am a huge Barbara Erskine fan, but I have read all her work. I was having a grumble about it to a friends's mum and she recommended 'Cross Stitch'. So I took it on holiday. I didnt do much on holiday as I could not put the book down!!!! It is absolutely brilliant! The characters are so real and you really feel for them at every twist and turn. I have ordered nearly all of them now as I cant wait to get started on them. I cannot rave about this book enough. I dont even want to lend it out incase it doesnt come back. If you read this, you will not be disappointed. Excellent material. loved it!!!

Diana Gabaldon is a genius! My mum showed me the light when she got me this first book and I was hooked after the first page! The method with which Diana Gabaldon writes makes you feel like you know the characters intricately and has you desperate to read more and more so you just can't put it down. So when you buy this book you will need to warn friends and family they may not see you for a while as you won't want to stop reading it! The Jamie and Claire saga is fantastic you will be so pleased with yourself for buying it! Just remember to buy all the others too and Diana Gabaldon is still writing the rest of the saga so you will definately re-read them all a few times...Heaven...They get better every time you read them!!!
