Outlander by Diane Gabaldon
Irina McGovern’s destiny hinges on a single kiss. Will she stay with her reliable partner Lawrence, or runs off with Ramsey, a hard-living snooker player?
1946, and Claire Randall goes to the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank. She walks through a circle of standing stones and vanishes into 1743. Here, she falls into the hands of a gang of Scottish outlaws, and finds herself in danger.
Employing a parallel universe structure, we see Irina’s competing futures with two drastically different men. An intellectual but emotionally withdrawn American versus a passionate and jealous British celebrity. Is love always a trade-off?
4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster On March 3, 1947, in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson is born. From that single beginning, his life will take four simultaneous and independent fictional paths. Four boys, who are the same boy, will go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Chapter by chapter, the four stories rush on across a tumultuous and fractured mid-20th century America. A boy grows up – again and again and again and again.
Marooned amid passion and violence, her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in two irreconcilable lives.
City on Fire by Garth Risk Hallberg
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
It's New Year's Eve, 1976, and New York is a city on the edge. As midnight approaches, a blizzard sets in – and amidst the fireworks, an unmistakable sound rings out across Central Park. Gunshots. Two of them.
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath.
The search for the shooter will bring together a rich cast of New Yorkers in this epic tale. From rich kids to punk kids. From the newly arrived to the sick of it all. These lives are connected to one another. Whether they know it or not.
What if there were second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own inevitable destiny? And would you even want to?
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale.
