Longer than it needs to be, I think you could argue. Claire comes from the 11/23/63 school of history, in the sense that she doesn't just not try to avoid changing history - she actively dedicates her life to f*cking with events. In fact, it's like a rule: don't touch anything, don't even step on anything, because if you step on a butterfly, even, the Internet might not exist, or the US might be colonized by England. Usually time travelers do everything they can not to change the course of history. After a hundred pages or so, the book slips back into the 18th century, to Charles Stuart as he holds court in France, and, of course, to Claire and Jamie's desperate attempts to avert the Battle of Culloden. Now she has a daughter in her 20s, and she's returned back to the place where she first disappeared. The book starts out in the present day for Claire - the 1960s. I enjoyed the book so much that I immediately launched into the sequel, DRAGONFLY IN AMBER.
I recently reread and reviewed OUTLANDER, to see if it would hold up to my initial reading.
