Extended Synopsis
In the novel that launched a global literary and television phenomenon, Diana Gabaldon introduces readers to Claire Beauchamp Randall. The year is 1945, and Claire, a former British combat nurse, has just returned from the war to reunite with her husband for a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands. Her world is shattered when she inadvertently walks through an ancient standing stone circle and is violently transported through time.
Claire awakens in 1743—a Scotland torn apart by war and raiding Highland clans. As a "Sassenach" (an outlander), she is immediately plunged into a dangerous world of political intrigue and violence that threatens her life. Her only chance of survival lies in an alliance with Jamie Fraser, a gallant and complex young Scots warrior. As compulsion turns to urgent need, Claire finds herself hopelessly torn between two completely different men, in two irreconcilable lives, across centuries of history.
