Everyone thinks she’s an English spy and on top of that she has to face her own feelings and confusion of being thrown back in time. She has to face the suspicion and the doubt surrounding her by simply looking the other way while trying to be inconspicuous about where she comes from and how she came to be here. “For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary” The place where those who belong at the clan of Colum Mackenzie reside. Due to her being a nurse during WWII she helps save a young Scot man that is severely hurt and is taken back to Castle Leoch. He jumps on her but she is saved by clansmen. Many call him Black Jack for his soul is dark. When she travels back in time, she immediately falls into the hands of a captain of the dragoons, Jonathan Randall, an ancestor of her husband. And now she’s back again to being Claire Beauchamp. She suddenly becomes a Sassenach, an Outlander, and has to face clans and lairds and other things she’s only ever read about in history. When Claire Randall and her husband go to a second honeymoon at the Highlands in order to reconnect as a couple after WWII she never expected to be thrown inadvertently back in time, in the year of 1743 when the English and the Scots were at not so peaceful grounds. 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. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life …and shatter her heart. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire’s destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. Suddenly she is a Sassenach-an “outlander”–in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord…1743. 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. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another…
