Diana Gabaldon has written a fantastic series of Fantasy/Historical Fiction books about a modern-day woman magically transported to Scotland in the 18th century. The heroine, Claire Randall, is fantastic - a doctor with a strong will and a quick wit. She meets her match in Jamie Fraser - hulking Scot caught in the middle of the revolt against the British. These books are long, but the pages fly by. What an engaging writer with a wonderful attention to detail - guys and gals both will love these - something for everyone.
Outlander , Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn.
WooHoo! She has another volume out - The Outlandish Companion. For those of you who love this wonderful author - you have to read this one. With a synopsis of each book, indexes, character lists, and a look into the life of this author - this is both informative and humorous!
