Just after the Second World War, a young couple finally reunited to spend their holidays in Scotland. One afternoon, when she is walking alone in the meadow, Claire approaches a circle of ancient stones and suddenly falls into a strange trance. Coming to his senses, he finds a disconcerting panorama...
...the modern world has disappeared, now the Scotland of 1734 surrounds it, with its belligerent and superstitious clans, rude men and women, sometimes violent, but with a capacity to live and love like Claire had never experienced in her previous life. Haunted by memories of her, Claire will have to choose between the security of the future she left behind and the gripping uncertainty of the past that she now inhabits.
In this first part of the Claire Randall saga, which continues with "Trapped in Time", "Traveler" and "Autumn Drums", Diana Gabaldon has written a different love and fantasy story, in which chance encounters and the equivocal game of time are combined in an intriguing ending...
Would you like a story of love and fantasy through the time and history?
