About this product
Product Information
In 1945, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands, and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her. But it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in danger from Jacobites and Redcoats - and from the shock of her own desire for James Fraser, a gallant and courageous young Scots warrior. Jamie 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.Product Identifiers

The first in an amazing series, packed full of action and fun.
I bought Cross Stitch to replace the copy I had leant to someone and therefore lost. It is a wonderful start to a great series - which has now been televised as Outlander. If you've watched that, you will absolutely love this book, which is the first in the series. Compelling and meaty; beautifully written with many flashes of humour.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
