A woman out of time
Claire Randall is the heroine of the Outlander series, adapted from the novels of the same name. The series begins in 1945 at the time of the liberation. Claire is a war nurse in England during the Second World War and she will finally be able to find her husband, Frank, whom she has hardly seen since the beginning of the war. Together, they decide to go on a second honeymoon to Scotland to follow in the footsteps of Frank’s ancestors, who are passionate about genealogy. During their trip, they come across a magic stone circle and women practicing a round. The next day, Claire returns alone to pick plants. She hears voices coming from a stone and when she touches it, she is propelled backwards. When she tries to go home, she can’t find her way back and soon realizes that she has been propelled back to 1742. She is attacked by an English officer who looks exactly like her husband, but saved in extremis by several Scotsmen. She is taken to their clan’s castle as a guest and they take her on as a healer after she helps heal one of the young men in the clan. While she tries her best to return to the stones to find her husband, she also begins to grow attached to Jamie Fraser, the young man she healed upon arrival.
