What the critics say
"Davina Porter maintains the distinct voices she creates for each character throughout the lengthy narration. Her delivery of 18th-century language sounds authentic and is easily understandable." (AudioFile)
Editorial Review
Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander is the first book in a series of fantastic historical fiction that blends real-life history with mythical and magical themes. This first novel follows the main character British nurse Claire Randall on her travels in the Scottish Highlands, where she falls through time after encountering ancient standing stones on Fraser’s Ridge. She is immediately thrown into the hectic world of 18th Century Scotland and forced to adapt quickly to assimilate and - hopefully - find her way home again. From the highlands to old-world North Carolina, the storyline is a twisting and turning adventure of war, romance - in the rugged yet kind Jamie Fraser- destiny, and fate, which will capture you from the start and not let go until the very end. Genre blending and unique, Gabaldon weaves aspects of love stories with history and time travel and adventure for an exciting and highly entertaining story.
Davina Porter narrates the audiobook version, which brings the epic story to life in a new way. She has narrated over 400 audiobooks in her time, including several classics, and she brings her wealth of experience to this reading for a stunning performance. She was awarded the AudioFile Golden Voice narrator for this series. Her attention to small details and nuances in the story makes for a beautiful audio experience, whether you’re familiar with the series or hearing it for the first time. Fans of the story can enjoy more of Gabaldon’s world in the Lord John Grey companion novels.

When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Davina Porter is perfect for this well written story. Jamie and Claire will become people in your heart. I have read them ( and listened to them) over and over again. With over 8 books in the series there is no " book over let down" with this one. You can just start them all over again.
My favourite book of all!

The story is a little bit of a kitschy love story. But it was an enjoyable listen nonetheless.
