Summary2001 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice
Award Winner - Best Historical Novel
The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife
tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it,
for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy — a time-traveler's
certain knowledge.
Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served
England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and
in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she
walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and
found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place
where no lady should be, in a time — 1743 — when the only
English in Scotland were the officers and men of King
George's army.
Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an
outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by
choice, linked by love to her only anchor — Jamie Fraser.
Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger
and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming
revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way
through the perilous years ahead — or ignite a
conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes....
