Publisher's summary

This stunning blend of historical romance and time traveling adventure has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world and catapulted author Diana Gabaldon to the top of the New York Times best seller list. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in an ancient stone ruin and is instantly transported to 1743 Scotland, a place torn by war and raiding border clans. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?

Critic reviews

"Davina Porter maintains the distinct voices she creates for each character throughout the lengthy narration. Her delivery of 18th-century language sounds authentic and is easily understandable." (AudioFile)

Wow... So much more information!

I was intimidated by the length of this book but found that I simply couldn’t stop listening! I’ve watched Outlander, the series and it was good but the book is far superior, the narrator was absolutely AMAZING and the detail was perfect! I loved it! Starting book two immediately!

I love Outlander!

I already loved Outlander from watching the series. HOWEVER...in parts of this performance you can hear other people talking in the background. It was very strange.

A Taste of Wonder

This story transported through the character's lives. I love the details. I enjoyed the magical spin, but also not getting too mystical (which is fine, but I love to imagine that this could happen)! The main antagonist is one you really despise! The heroine isn't without her flaws, but I like reading a character who is portrayed and a strong minded and willful woman. And of course, the romance portrayed in this story not only makes my heart leap, but sets my soul on fire and makes the book dragon in me satisfied!

Awesome

I am inclined to think Davina Porter’s voice was on the old side for this book, but as I am still working my way through the series, it is possible the end may justify the choice in narrator. That said, Ms. Porter is a phenomenal narrator, who brings all the characters to life and immerses one in the story. The story itself is epic and wonderful! Can’t get enough!
