Diana Gabaldon on "Outlander" at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books

Diana Gabaldon discusses Outlander at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach-an “outlander”-in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire-and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Diana, for pronouncing the word APPALACHIAN correctly! (9:48) I am from North Carolina, very near the actual Fraser's Ridge (near Blowing Rock, Boone, and Appalachian University), and I always cringe when I hear people (almost everyone) pronounce the word incorrectly!

[@Arleners123]

I was told that there are two correct ways to pronounce Appalachan. It is pronounced one way North of the Mason Dixson Line and another way South of the Mason Dixon line. Technically you should pronounce it based on the location you are referring to. Diana pronounced correctly for the location in the Carolinas!
