Read the first book over 20 years ago and never realised Diana Gabaldon continued the story of Claire and Jamie.When I watched Outlander on Netflix I had no idea that this was the same story. As I watched, I remembered , and was absolutely delighted. Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe have brought these characters to life on the screen and they are mesmerising to watch. I purchased the whole series of these books afterward and they have captivated me. Congratulations that R.D. Moore was not frightened to show some of the books more traumatic scenes. This was the 18th century and they were brutal and cruel times. To soften them with today's standards would have seriously compromised the whole story. As for the more passionate scenes, I think they are, without a shadow of a doubt, some of the best ever . You would have to be emotionally dead not to feel just how much these two young people feel for each other.
I hope they continue with this series and we get to see the complete story of Jamie and Claire, to the end.
