This is the first book in a very addictive series. I don't normally like books written as series-the subsequent books always fail to deliver. Not so with this group of novels. The author Diana Gabaldon is a New York Times best selling author and her story actually improves with each new book. This is a tale of a woman living in two centuries. An ancient stone in the British Isles acts as a time machine to transport her into Scotland at a time when it is revenged by raiding clans and torn apart by war. An absorbing story of the land and lore of Scotland that left me obsessively searching the bookstores for the next novel in the series: Dragonfly in Amber. These are BIG novels, nearly 1000 pages of hard to put down reading!
