This 600 pager chronicles the perilous journey back in time by the main character, Claire. The happily-married Claire finds herself separated from her husband, life and time period. She encounters the rustic Scottish descendants of her husband's family and she struggles to survive in the world in which she doesn't belong. This develops into a wonderful (although intense and often barbaric) love story- I found myself drawn into the emotional bond between the two main characters (similar to how I felt while reading the Twilight series...)
Lucky for me, this book is the first in a series of 7! Possibly an 8th sometime in 2012?!
**UPDATE: I've finished book # 2 (Dragonfly in Amber), book #3 (Voyager), book #4 (Drums of Autumn) and am now starting book #5 ( The Fiery Cross). I guess you can say I'm hooked. Even though these books are loooong, there's rarely a dull moment! Looooove!
**5/04/11: I will say that I've slowed down tremendously with book 5... There are more slow spots and I find myself doing a bit more skimming. I do still enjoy the story that is being told, perhaps I could do without some of the detail? I'll get back to you when I'm on to book 6.
