Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon

This is a time-traveling romantic adventure of the adventures Dr. Claire Beauchamp Randall, a 20th-century American who goes to Scotland in search of her 18th-century husband, virile Scot Jamie Fraser, whom she met and married in Outlander. She is in the present but as she hopes to find a state or time (like that of the title's dragonfly suspended in a piece of amber) where Fraser still exists. This book is over 900 pages but it kept me enthralled from page one. Not very many authors can write a 900+ page book and keep every single page interesting. I can't wait to start the third one but I think I will take a little break from Scotland for a while.
