Query: A disappointing mixture of romance and fantasy

The book did not hold up to the expectations I had been given by other readers.History is secondary to at times steamy romance and fantasy. The writing, at least in the beginning ofthe book, is too breathy. One would have wished Ms. Gabaldon a better editor for her first book.Fantasy for sure, as it is rather unbelievable that not only her husband but also a monk believe the heroine's story of time travel at a time where witches were quickly put on the stake.All I can recommend this book for is very light summer reading.
