Full review
The book 'Cross Stitch' (Outlander = US title) is a novel by Diana Gabaldon. It is the first of currently four novels by her, following a woman called Claire & a man called Jamie. It is essentially an historical romance, but the twist is that Claire is from modern day Britain & Jamie is a Scottish Highlander from the past ! It is the best novel I have ever read - a large book, but one that somehow doesn't seem big enough, as you miss the characters once you have finished reading it. They are excellent, well-rounded characters, with wonderful storylines & a very well researched view of history. Jamie is probably the most romantic hero in a novel, but he is far from being a perfect 'Mills & Boon' / Barbara Cartland type. These books are amazing & Diana Gabaldon is a magical writer. Read this & be spellbound ! Highly recommended.
