Why these tropes fit
Claire Randall, a WWII British combat nurse on a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands in 1945, walks through an ancient standing stone circle and is transported to 1743, where Scotland is torn by clan wars. Stranded as a Sassenach in this dangerous era, she must rely on Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scottish warrior, for safety. What begins in compulsion becomes urgent need, leaving her torn between two very different men—her 20th-century husband Frank and Jamie in the 18th century—across two irreconcilable lives.
