The story

What Is The Outlander About?

The premise of The Outlander without spoilers.

In the early 20th century a nameless stranger arrives in a small, rural community and is dubbed the Outlander. He rejects conventional behaviour and parochial thinking, unsettling the villagers’ complacency and scandalising the town. His defiance wins admiration and a woman’s love, and before departing as abruptly as he came, he opens the villagers’ eyes to the wider world beyond their village.
