Cover not as shown (Canadian 1st edition paperback).
I love time travel fiction. Personally, the story moved too slow for me and I really stuggled to stay interested. This book is so popular I thought I'd make it available.

In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.
While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before.
Gabaldon creates characters that you'll remember, laugh with, cry with, and cheer for long after you've finished the book. --Candy Paape

I received a notice from the P.O. in Atlanta, Georgia that the package in which this was mailed was somehow destroyed in the mail. I'm not sure how to mark the status in this case...how disappointing.

Just wanted to add this note that I received a letter back from the USPS responding to my request for them to search for the book. It has not been found.

Sad to hear it has disappeared elizardbreath, especially since as a Canadian 1st edition copy it was a rare book. I realize these things happen. Maybe we can send it to the lost book island bookshelf?

This book has washed ashore at the Lost Book Island after not being heard from for many months. This new arrival will be shown to a room and be allowed a bit of rest before being introduced to the many fun things to do here at the island.
All around there are books sipping cool drinks under shady palms while other books participate in a wide variety of beach sports. There is plenty of sand, surf and sun here for all of the lost and wayward books to enjoy.
We are saddened to learn that the post office has mishandled this book. Perhaps wonder a miracle will happen and this book will magically reappear but until then this book is welcome to hang around at the Lost Book Island.
