Summary

Josephine Cox writes a gripping Victorian saga in Outcast, the first instalment of the Emma Grady trilogy - the story of a young woman's battles in life and love.

On a fateful night in 1860, Thadius Grady realises, too late, that he has made a grave mistake. In blind faith he has put himself and his daughter Emma at the mercy of his sister and her conniving husband, Caleb Crowther - for he has entrusted to them his entire fortune and the daughter he adores. With his dying breath he pleads to see his daughter one last time - but Caleb's heart is made of stone.

A feared Lancashire justice, Caleb Crowther is a womaniser and a gambler, and now the inheritance due to Emma is as much in his hands as is the beautiful Emma Grady herself. But Caleb lives in fear of the past, for how did Emma's mother mysteriously die? And what made Thadius and Caleb hate the river people so intensely? History seems likely to repeat itself when Emma falls helplessly in love with Marlow Tanner, a young bargee. For Marlow and Emma, it is an impossible love - a love made in Heaven, but which could carry them both to Hell....

Great read

As usual Josephine writes a gripping story. I can feel the hatred for caleb crouther, a money grabbing thug.

Promising start to the series

Slow start didn’t hold out much hope for this book,then I thought it was going to be a Mills and Boon romance. How wrong I was I’m pleased to say. It’s a good book and having read the first one looking forward to the second in the series.

A good reflection on life in 1860s England

Liked the story, even the tragic & sad parts.
Disliked the staccato style of narrator although the accents of characters was genuine.

Raw, gritty and sad so if you like fairytales I wouldn’t bother but for others it is a good historical story

A good story but very harsh and sad so don’t read if you’re feeling down as this story will definitely not cheer you up! It is still a good read and for those who don’t want fluffy fairytales, this is raw and gritty and shows all the tragedies of some lives, especially back in the 1800s
