Claire Randall Fraser

In the tumultuous embrace of the 20th and 18th centuries, Claire Randall Fraser embodies the extraordinary and the ordinary intertwined. Born in Birmingham, England, in 1918, within the swirling aftermath of world wars and societal upheavals, her life epitomizes resilience. Orphaned at a young age, she was nurtured by the tales of an archaeologist uncle, which forged her insatiable curiosity and fortitude. In the shadows of World War II, she served as a combat nurse, honing her skills amid the brutalities of battlefield trauma.

A second honeymoon with husband Frank brought her unwittingly to the ancient stones of Craigh na Dun, where a twist of fate hurled her nearly two centuries back to 1743. Thrust into a world fraught with political intrigue and Highland loyalties, her modern ideals clashed spectacularly with the rudimentary customs of the past. Claire's medical prowess, often considered witchcraft, brought her acclaim and suspicion alike as she navigated the complexities of life and love, ultimately forging an indelible bond with the dashing Jamie Fraser.

A fierce, intelligent, and compassionate woman of her time, she deftly balanced loyalties to her past with the reality of her present as she pursued a life both thrilling and heart-wrenching. Claire's odyssey paints a portrait of a woman molded by loss, love, and the ceaseless drive to heal and protect those she holds dear, spanning timelines and transcending the very essence of human connection.
