Outlander


Title: Outlander

Author: Diana Gabaldon

Pages: 28 discs

Genre: Science Fiction, Fiction

Grade: B+

Synopsis: Claire Randall is on a second honeymoon with her husband just after the end of World War II.  She had served as a combat nurse during the war and was now happily reunited with her husband.  While in Scotland, they visited a rock formation similar to a small version of Stonehenge.  Upon touching one of the rocks Claire was instantly transported to the same spot back in time to the year 1743.  She joins up with the Clan MacKenzie and becomes intimately familiar with the studly man of James Fraser...

My Review: This was an enjoyable book.  While the basic premise is unbelievable (a time traveling young wife), the rest of the book is written to be completely believable and you find yourself thinking what if?...

Disclaimer: While Claire is still happily married to her 20th century husband, while living in the 18th century there are a few love scenes, that did not come across as dirty, but were certainly steamy.
