library Journal
after Being Separated By Seven Years Of World War Ii, Claire And Frank Randall Return To The Scottish Highlands For A Second Honeymoon. Left To Her Own Devices While Her Husband Immerses Himself In Historical Pursuits, Claire Inadvertently Enters A Circle Of Standing Stones And Is Plunged Back 200 Years To A Scotland On The Verge Of The Second Jacobite Uprising. Her Pluck And Skill As A Nurse Win The Scots' Grudging Respect, But Only Marriage To A Scot Will Save Her From The Clutches Of Frank's Vicious Forbear, Black Jack Randall. Though First Novelist Gabaldon Uses Time Travel Primarily To Allow A Modern Heroine, This Is Basically A Richly Textured Historical Novel With An Unusual And Compelling Love Story. The Author, An Assistant Professor Of Research In Environmental Studies, Was Encouraged To Publish By Fellow Users Of Compuserve And Has Two More Books Contracted. If These Fulfill The Promise Of The First, They Should Win A Devoted Audience.
