Read: Diana Gabaldon - Outlander

I'm not sure how I ended up reading this book. I had been looking online for lists of historical fiction, so maybe it was listed there. I'd also been browsing through the available e-books from the library, so maybe it was there. However it happened, I'm glad I came across it. A WWII-era English nurse accidentally ends up back in time in 1700s Scotland. She ends up forced to marry a younger Scottish man, rather against her will, and then discovers her attraction to him - the banter and sparks are quite good - it reminds me of the earliest books in the Lindsey Davis detective novels set in ancient Rome. Not only that, but she has to work hard to make a place for herself in this very different society, where her medical skills are valued, but can also be used against her (it's a short turn from medical cure to witchcraft). It's a bit historical fiction, a bit mystery, a bit sci fi. Very readable, and it turns out there are several more that follow it. I think I know where most of my summer reading hours are going to go...
