On Friday, May 6, the First Friday Book Club will begin Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon.
Outlander is the first in a series of eight historical novels by Diana Gabaldon.
Published in 1991, it focuses on 20th century nurse Claire Randall, who time travels by falling through a circle of standing stones, to 18th century Scotland.
Here she finds adventure and romance with the dashing Scot James Fraser.
The book is a mix of several genres, featuring elements of historical fiction, romance, adventure, and fantasy.
“Absorbing and heartwarming, this first novel lavishly evokes the land and lore of Scotland, quickening both with realistic characters and a feisty, likable heroine.” – Publisher’s Weekly.
