Product Description

Synopsis

Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another...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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book by which I judge all others..., 25 Jun 2009
THis is the first in the series of (so far) 6 books by Diana Gabaldon. Also known as 'Outlander' in the US, I first found this book by accident close to 20 years ago. My local (miniscule) library had a very poor selection and I'd read practically every book of interest they had on the shelves. I lived a good distance from the library and was looking for books that might last a while to save me a trip every other day. Cross Stitch was newly published and was FAT in hardback. That'll do for me I thought! I read the inside cover and thought it sounded dubious, but it was FAT......so it came home with me.

It was the best book I could have stumbled across. Regardless of how lengthy it was, I tore though it in record time because it's just the best tale EVER. I love this book so much. It's the book by which I judge all others.

For something that is obviously so far fetched - time travel from 1945 to Culloden, Scotland in 1745 - it just seems so real. The descriptions of characters, events and surroundings are so fleshed out as to make you feel as if you are right there with it all. That's what makes this book (and all the others that follow) so readable, it's all to easy to fall into the pages and lose yourself.

The worst part about the books for me was the 2 year wait between each! It helped that I live within driving distance of all of the Scottish places mentioned in the book and spent many a happy day trawling round the settings, soaking up the atmosphere. I've lost count of the Close's in Edinburgh that I've peered into, looking for 'the' print shop :D

I have gone back to these books again and again over the years and they never fail to entertain me. I recommend these to everyone I come across that asks for book recommendations and have yet to hear that the books were not liked. Sometimes I feel that there couldn't be anyone left that hasn't read this series because I tell so many people about them! "Pssst! *LOOKS LEFT.... LOOKS RIGHT* ....Wanna read a book?!"

I wholeheartedly reccommend these books and if you're curious about the unabridged audio version , get it! Davina Porter does a wonderful job of narrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Desert Island Book ...., 27 April 2007
By M. Lugg "bookworm" (Helston, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If I could have only one book Cross Stitch would be it. I stumbled across this book a few years ago and was totally blown away. Since then I have read all of the books in this series a few times (I am not the sort of person who usually re-reads books) they are just amazing - plus, I am in love with Jamie!

If you have not read any of Diana Gabaldon's books then you are missing out on a real treat but I would suggest that you read them in order, starting with Cross Stitch then Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, Fiery Cross and finally, A Breath of Snow on Ashes. They are all wonderful books and can be read out of order (especially the first four which I think are the best) but I think you get so much more understanding of Claire, Jamie & Co if read in order.
