"The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an 'outlander'--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743." --Front jacket flap.
