Outlander

by Diana Gabaldon

paperback, in good secondhand condition. 

This is the bestselling novel that spawned the popular Outlander series. But sometimes going back to the beginning and reading the book that started it all, well, that can be a lot of fun. This is the story of Claire Randall who on holiday with her husband in the Scottish Highlands walks through some standing stones and is transported back to 1743. 

"People disappear all the time. Ask any policeman. Better yet, ask a journalist. Disappearances are bread and butter to journalists...."
