Okay, so this is the fourth book in the Outlander series, and it is awesome! Claire is hanging out with Jamie in pre-Revolutionary War North Carolina, while daughter Brianna is living in the present day (of late 1960's) Boston, attending college and falling in love with Roger McKenzie Wakefield. But then Brianna learns something that makes her decide to go back in time to see her parents... and off to Scotland she goes, to go through the stone circle.
Okay, you really need to start with Outlander and read the books in order, otherwise you're going to be pretty lost, because author Diana Gabaldon refers to events that took place in previous books. And they are all really long books, like 1,000 pages almost. But so worth it! The research she has done is just incredible, and she tells her story with humor and passion. These books are true page-turners, almost impossible to put down. And you find yourself chomping at the bit for the next one (which I started this morning - thanks to my mother-in-law for the birthday present!).
They've made a cable TV series based on the books, it's on Starz. I've watched the first few episodes and it's pretty good (of course they haven't even gotten half way through the first book yet). But the books are still way better.
