Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another...In 1945, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently, she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands, and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly, she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her. But it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in danger from Jacobites and Redcoats - and from the shock of her own desire for James Fraser, a gallant and courageous young Scots warrior. Jamie shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire, and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

I came across this book looking for cross stitch books for sewing, and immediately felt I had to read it, as I love all reading all scottish novels etc. I couldn't put this book down once I had started. I was transported back in time along with the *sassenach* and loved understanding pieces off history and reliving it. I have just bought the next instalment dragonfly in amber, and am hoping its just as good as the first instalment. I'm not a quick reader, but 800 plus pages read in 2 weeks, for me thats good. When I read a book that totally takes me into each word and tears, yes I did cry, THAT to me is a book worth reading.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars FAB!!

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.
