Outlander

Outlander, Book 1

De: Diana Gabaldon

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series.

One of the top ten best-loved novels in America, as seen on PBS’s The Great American Read!

Unrivaled storytelling. Unforgettable characters. Rich historical detail. These are the hallmarks of Diana Gabaldon’s work. Her New York Times bestselling Outlander novels have earned the praise of critics and captured the hearts of millions of fans. Here is the story that started it all, introducing two remarkable characters, Claire Beauchamp Randall and Jamie Fraser, in a spellbinding novel of passion and history that combines exhilarating adventure with a love story for the ages.

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.

With over 500 audiobooks to her credit, narrator Kristin Atherton has collected multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards for books by Pat Barker, Francesca Segal, Lisa Jewell, and Alison Goodman, among others. She has been cast in the role of Jamie Fraser's sister Jenny Murray in the second half of Outlander Season 7 on STARZ.

Loved Kristen's narration!

I had previously listened to the first recorded version of Outlander and didn't know if that narrator could be matched. But Kristen Atherton did a wonderful & unique recorded version of a book I love! Well done Kristen! Filled with emotion and distinctive voices for each character. I was thoroughly enthralled!

Outstanding book and performance!

I have loved this book series for a while now and decided, why not? I'll give the audiobook a try. Let me tell you, Kristen Atherton gives you a 10/10 performance and fits Claire's character so well. I have already pre-ordered the next ones that will be performed by her in this series.

Diana Gabaldon doesn't even need words, She is able to create a world that is enthralling and always keeps me on the edge of my seat, begging for more.

Fantastic Narrator!!!

This new narrator has made these books come alive. I tried to listen to them in the past and found the performance boring. I’m really excited to get to enjoy them in an audio format as they are re-recorded.

Outstanding new narration

I've been an Outlander fan for years, and enjoyed the original narrations by Davina Porter. This new narration by Kristin Atherton is an absolute revelation. The characters come to life far more than they ever have before for me. The accents are spot on. The emotions are rich and nuanced. The sexy times are absolutely scorchingly hot. Highly recommend, and I can't wait for the rest of the books to come out.

Love this book!

Great story and storytelling by an excellent author! Diana Gabaldon is a genius at writing
