Outlander is the first in a series of seven novels (with more coming!) Hurtled back in time more than two hundred years to 1743 Scotland, World War II nurse Claire Randall finds herself caught in the midst of a world torn apart by violence, pestilence, and revolution. Her application of 20th-century attitudes and medical knowledge to a more primitive time is fascinating; the history of the clans’ fight for independence is compelling; and the love that grows between Claire and young soldier Jamie Fraser is unforgettable. The subsequent books continue their story, bringing them to Revolutionary War-era America. You’ll want to read it again and again!
