Outlander by Diana Gabaldon


Outlander

Time travel is the subject of this book. Claire, while on vacation in Scotland, travels from 1945 to 1743 to a much rougher country and people. Treated with suspicion as an outlander, she realizes she must marry James Fraser to survive. I don't want to say much more about the book except that it was published over 20 years ago and people are still reading it. It is the first in a series and most people who read the first book carry on to read the others. 

Me, I didn't care for it. I found the characters to be a little too unrealistic and the premise of time travel to be just an excuse to tell a story in 1743. But most of the people I have spoken to who have read this book, loved it.
