I’ve been rereading parts of Outlander (or Cross Stitch as my copy is called) I never cease to be totally swept away by DG’s writing. I love Claire how she is portrayed in the TV show but I also like the slightly acerbic humour of the Claire in the books.

She is funnier in the books but the producers/writers decided not to use these scenes. At the very beginning when confronted by BJ Claire in the series spat in his face. In the book, she screamed so loudly straight in his earhole that he jumped as if a hot wire had been run through his ear. Later on when Claire was crying for Frank and Jamie comforted her he gathered her onto his knee so she could sob on his chest but when it became apparent he wasn't as tired as she thought, she scrambled up from him in embarrassment. However, I don't know how they could show that on TV!! When I read the books, I envisage Sam as Jamie but I can't envisage Cait for Claire. I imagine her as a much smaller woman with lighter hair and a totally different demeanour. Bossy and bustling about.
