Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another...In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an "outlander"—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Christina thinks this book is Excellent.
This is one of the best fiction books ever! Don't even read the tags for this book, because it is not a book that can be pigeonholed. It has a 'romance' tag, because the two main characters have an everlasting and deep love for each other. It has a 'time-travel' tag because the female main character does actually travel through time. And likewise, the 'historic fiction' tag, because the majority of the book (& series) takes place in the past. But this book is more adventure than anything, and the deep level of character development is phenominal. If you love to read and you don't read this book (and the whole series), then you are missing out.
