Scottish Highlands, 1945. Claire Randall, a former British 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. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743.
Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of a world that threatens her life, and may shatter her heart. Marooned amid danger, passion, and violence, Claire learns her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior. What begins in compulsion becomes urgent need, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in two irreconcilable lives.

I really liked the first 3 books in this series. After the 3rd they just got more ridiculous and unbelievable.
Read several of this series. Did not think I would like it when I began but was drawn into the story and loved learning about Scottish history. Once I started it was difficult to stop. Left me thinking for a long time after I finished each episode.
Wonderful
Fully fleshed characters., an engaging story story and characters you want to know.
Great book
It doesn’t get better then this book! It has it all. Highly recommend.
Thoroughly hooked until book seven then I had had enough.
A wonderful book; love this author!!
Wonderful everyone should either read or listen to these books
The Outlander series are the best books I’ve ever read! So far, there are 8 books in the series and TV series on Star network. Love both, however, read the books first!
Love, loved all the Outlander Books!
Best historical romance I have ever read over and over..
Gabaldon has recreated an interest in time travel books, but no one has done it as well since. Riveting story, swoon worthy hero who has enormous emotional intelligence for a man so young, great reversal of the virgin trope, and believable situations once you get past the time travel. Deserves all the success and praise it has received.
Read this originally over 26 years ago and then again 2 years ago. Loved it just as much now as I did back then!
That start of my love affair with all of Diana’s books!
Dialogue was difficult to decipher… Very difficult for me to pull through and finish. If the dialogue was written without the accent I’d like it more.
I’ve read this series of books at least six times. So captivating. First couple chapters of the first book a bit dry, but after that….! Yes!
An excellent series that is also informative. I like the characters and found myself very involved with their lives. I heard there may be a book 9 in this series and if there is, I am anxiously awaiting its release. Several of the later books I found hard to read because it involved a lot about the American Revolution , which really does not …
Najlepsza
From the very first chapter I was hooked on this series, Outlander has been one of my favorites…love this series.
I read the entire series of books, I checked them out from the library for my kindle. I have watched the series on tv and loved the way the story and characters are depicted. They follow the books very closely, but you get a lot more of the storyline by reading the books! I am considering re-reading them again I enjoyed them so much!
