Honestly - the voice of Julia Roberts or Ally McBeal, I could not really imagine as the embodiment of Claire me, so I grabbed the curious American original version. And was not disappointed, I can understand everything and can gain an interesting insight into both the correct pronunciation of the name, as well as in the Scots Jamie. Geraldine James here has really delivered a masterstroke, because you succeed miraculously to embody Claire and meet their essence for me exactly. Say: That's how I imagine it to me! Jamie has indeed - almost inevitably with a female officer - not the deep voice, as I may have had while reading the novels in my ear, but I was able for the first time capture the Scottish element in him and a wonderful rolling R listen (which we Rhinelander well known, are not particularly powerful * g *). Of course, the book had to leave feathers and so a 800-pages-ham was shrunk to six CDs. So if you want to really understand the magic of the book, should first select the reading, but who once again recreate the atmosphere and maybe you want to experience the story from a different perspective, you should definitely try the audio book. A bit of practice in listening English texts, however, should already be in place, this version is not suitable for beginners.
