She has a husband in one century, anda lover in another...In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war andreunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she innocently touches aboulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles.Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war andraiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in sooninextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch.She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies thatmay threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, agallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love soabsolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...andbetween two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives."Absorbing and heartwarming...lavishly evokes the land and lore ofScotland." "--Publishers Weekly" "Stunning!" "--Los Angeles Daily News" "It is a large canvas that Gabaldon paints, filled with strong passions andderring-do.

I enjoyed this book. Historical fiction/romance. The characters were interesting and engaging. Overall I really liked both the leads, though they also both had traits that I found off-putting. Definitely a lot of spicy scenes peppered throughout. Also, some very graphic descriptions of torture (both physical and psychological); I'm not usually squeamish, but even I found it disturbing. But overall, recommend (if you can handle spice and torture).

I had high hopes for this book. I got the first four books in a set. I bailed at about 300 pages into this book. Jamie almost cut his wife (their marriage was forced) trying to show off his sword fighting. I hated him. But the real reason why I abandoned the book was the constant panic attacks of censored. I was not satisfied with the quality of the writing.

1. A native Phoenician who still lives here but who harbors a heart yearning for mountains, pine trees, and lakes.
2. I couldn't think of a book taking place in Phoenix, but the opening of the film PSYCHO by Alfred Hitchcock was filmed here! 🤩 I also tagged my favorite D. Gabaldon book, OUTLANDER. She's lived in Williams, AZ (NW of Phoenix) for years, and is a local favorite.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) I live in Germany. My kids go/went to a German school, but it's a very different school system from my own East German primary school experience: basic sewing skills, basic gardening skills, basic DIY skills. Yes, they learnt that at home, but it's different when they learn it at school among their friends.

2) Wow, tough question. Claire might be able to sew wounds and improvise a splint, but she can't cook.

TheSpineView Great answers! Thanks for playing! 8mo

I finally got to this YEARS after buying it on a friend‘s recommendation. I found it really compelling and it kept me turning the pages, but every time I stopped to think about it I was thinking ‘wow I don‘t want that‘. I think it‘s a very well-done historical romance but I think I have very different fantasies from Claire and Diana both!

Okay, I can't take it anymore, I'm dnfing Outlander. The sexual violence is too much, especially from the so-called hero of the book.
I typically have a high tolerance for dark fantasy, I mean, I'm rereading Game of Thrones. I got about halfway through this monstrosity. I tried to plunge ahead, but I just can't.
For those few who haven't read it, trigger warnings for sexual assault, attempted sexual assaults and violence against everyone 🤦🏼‍♀️

majkia I DNF'd it too. Hated it. 14mo
AnnR I understand how you feel about the book. I pushed myself to read through the third book in the series and had to quit due to the violence, sexual and otherwise. 14mo

Upon reading Sheerhan's lyrics, I interpreted “shivers“ in a (dare I say) emotionally sexy way. My two favorite characters who give each other the shivers in all 10 books is none other than Jamie and Claire Fraser. 😍

I made the mistake of buying books 1-4, and I hated it. Claire is forced into marriage, and there was no love anywhere. This isn‘t romance fiction. It‘s one sad thing after another. They executed a child for stealing, and after more misery, I decided on returning the books. It‘s too sad, so I couldn‘t finish the book.

Airamas But the series is so wonderful. I don‘t want to add any spoilers but the books get so much better. Claire ends up loving Jamie and will do anything for him. This series is on my to be read again, one of my absolute favorites 2y

In May 2019 I went on a cruise in Northern Europe, starting with four stops in Scotland. At three of those stops, we were either greeted or farewelled by pipers on the dock. These folks played for us for at least fifteen minutes at Invergordon.

That day we also went to Cawdor Castle, where a lone piper in the garden played the infectious Skye Boat Song (AKA the Outlander song).

Magpiegem I live on the English coast but we have a bagpiper that walks up and down one of our local beaches playing. I assume because he‘s not allowed to practice at home! On the right day there‘s something quite atmospheric about his music drifting out to see. It reminds me of bedknobs and broomsticks 2y
Susanita @Magpiegem That‘s so cool! I used to work at a small military post in Washington DC. One of my coworkers used to see a piper on the grounds, practicing for funerals at Arlington Cemetery. 2y

The author advertises this as a romance fiction novel, but there is more inappropriate sex stuff than romance. Claire has lots of panic attacks about r*** thatmakes the book too hard to read. My friends say to give this book up for real romance books that don‘t have unwanted sexual content. There was also a scene where a child got mutilated as corperal punishment for stealing. I should have bailed on this book sooner.

Finishing this book felt like an accomplishment, it was good and kept me engaged, but it just kept going! The romance was sweet for the most part. While being historically accurate, it is not what we may see today after "me too". The historical politics and time travel aspects were interesting and fun also. I enjoyed it and I will continue on with the series. ✨️
