Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles.

For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire--and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Marvelous and fantastic adventures, romance, sex . . . perfect escape reading.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"History comes deliciously alive on the page.\"\u003cb\u003e--New York \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, on Outlander\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Gabaldon is a born storyteller. . . .
