I loved everything about this book... the characters, the setting, the pace, the arc of the story...but most of all I loved what it stirred in me. Dreams, desires, longings and the spark of a thought and vision for what could be possible in my own life. What if....? it's a big question. Kerry, the book (the whole series actually) is more than a great story, it's a catalyst for deeper self inquiry and will surely get a bold adventure on my calendar in the near future. Bravo!

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans—in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?

I thought I was only prone to binge on suspense tv
....until I started this book. 32 hours was not long enough. I'm queuing the next one immediately!

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....
