Publisher's Summary
Outlander, Diana Gabaldon's landmark novel of Scottish lore, has captured the hearts of millions of listeners around the world and catapulted her to the top of the New York Times best seller list.
Intrigue, danger, and desire merge in this lush novel of loyalty and time travel.
In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans - in 1743.
Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser? Davina Porter's lyrical narration will launch listeners into an exhilarating world of heroism, pulse-pounding adventure, and breathtaking romance as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

Like waiting for Donald Trump to finally shut up.
My new mantra is “don’t rely on best seller claims”. I’m 6 chapters in and so far there’s been a long winded instruction on gardening and another on how to dress a wound, and not much else. I picked the book based on the summary and claim of reader popularity. I was expecting something clever but instead found a lot (an awful lot) of words that presume to be clever, about a woman whose husband’s only interest is sex, and who appears to divide people Iinto 2 categories: overweight or not. I’m at the end of my tether as I obey the Stay-at-home orders and persevere with this book. Or will I? So far I’ve had about as much enjoyment as I get listening to President Trump drone on about nothing each day in his “Corona taskforce briefing”. Oh man, I should have taken the blue pill.
Update: I’m on Chapter 13 and FINALLY something appears to have happened. Hurrah!
update again. I’m now on Chapter 15 and can’t go on. This book is awful, nonstop drivel. I’d rather visit the dentist. At least I tried.

Enthralling
Absolutely loved this book. I’m a huge fan of The Bronze Horseman series by Paullina Simons, and I’ve been looking for something as good as. Throughout listening to this book, I drew a lot of parallels out of both books. The characters are well defined and the story is full of detail. The voice actor does a great job and I’m looking forward to listening to the next one.
