Her idea developed into a fully fledged series after she began writing the sassy main character, Claire. Using a classic episode of Doctor Who as inspiration for her 1700’s Scottish setting, Gabaldon had originally planned to write a historical novel only for practice. This creates a unique listening experience that combines fantasy, historical fiction, romance, adventure, and science fiction.ĭiana Gabaldon’s adventures capture a heroine caught between two worlds - and torn between two men. Her versatile narration shifts easily between time periods and characters, capturing the feel of each scene in her voice. Narrator Davina Porter is practically synonymous with Outlander. Listen as Claire not only struggles through life in the past, but also through her fraught relationships with her husband and her savior. But then, there’s Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior who continues to save her as dangerous events, from the Jacobite Rising to the American Revolution, bring them together. Disoriented and stranded in the past as an outsider, Claire vows to find a way to return to her life in the present. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall is enjoying a holiday with her husband in the Scottish Highlands, until she passes through a mysterious portal and finds herself back in the thick of war - in 1743. In the outstanding Outlander series, a 20th-century time traveler is caught up in events of the 18th century.
