It’s unusual for a fiction title to sell more hard copies than a nonfiction one, but its success can be explained by a side-by-side comparison. The Outlander series tells the story of Claire Randall, a World War II-era combat nurse who’s transported back in time to 18th-century Scotland where she becomes enamored of a young, dashing soldier named James Fraser. The latest volume finds the pair in crisis, as they try to reconnect amidst the tumult of the American Revolution.

Hard Choices, though doubtlessly full of diverting anecdotes, has no time travel. The more time travel Clinton can fit in between now and her next memoir, the better for her and her publisher.

I voted for Hillary in the 2008 primary, and will probably vote for her over the Republican choice in 2016
assuming she runs
. However, I still found this amazingly hilarious.

Romance novels are huge, OP. The main demographic that posts here may not be aware, but this isn't a surprise to anyone in publishing.

One is a work of fiction loosely set in a semi-historical version of America and covering an impossibly compelling and earnest protagonist through events loosely based on historical fact.

The other features time travel.
