It deals with domestic abuse, people in denial, and families in dysfunction. It may sound like it's too hard to read and I admit there was a point I put it down for a minute before picking it up again (because the story and writing were so good) but I highly recommend it. The author writes so beautifully. I ached for some of the characters and yelled and shook my head in disbelief at others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good read! *by R***F on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019* Overall good reading and well written. A little predictable in places, but a good read overall. Nice inner monologue pieces, some of the characters are a little bit like caricatures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read! *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2017* Upper-middle class setting in the 1950's in a small-town community in England.I was drawn into the book immediately. At the beginning, it was developing a little slow. But when the disappearance of the mother of Lewis the main character was presented, the story started to pick up.Lewis had a “dark” personality due to a tragedy he witnessed at the age of 7 with his mother’s “disappearance”. He does not talk much and mutters words when he should respond. His father, already remarried, does not know how to help Lewis, so he prefers to show no affection towards him. Lewis starts closing himself in his own world. Friends of his own community start seeing him as a “weirdo” and to some extent, bully him.As the novel develops, at age 12 Lewis has been ostracized by his community for being odd, he becomes an alcoholic about age 14, he starts to self-mutilate, he burns down the village church at age 17 years, and spent 2 years in jail for this.When he comes out of prison, no one comes to greet him, and with no practical skills and nowhere to go, he chooses to return to the small town that has been distrustful of him since his mother's disappearance a decade earlier. Secrets abound in Waterford, where social appearances are far more important than genuine love and respect, and Lewis' reputation as a pariah and his continued troubles at home and in the community, cause him to become an outcast.There was only one person who really understood him: Kit, a neighborhood friend who fell in love with Lewis. Right from the beginning she sees the good in Lewis and loves him. But Kit has her own tale of darkness, being an abused child by a crazy father, who was seen by his community as a very respectful family and church man. As tensions build, Kit becomes the only person who can communicate with Lewis.There is a lot of tension and Sadie Jones tells the story from various perspectives. We sympathize with Lewis and Kit as both stories are heartbreaking. By the last part of the book, the reader will feel a sense of hope and redemption for both Kit and Lewis.The only reason I did not give the book a 5-star review was because I was often momentarily confused by the dialogue of the different characters, often switching back and forth within the same scene being that the author does not identify who is “speaking”. It was hard for me sometimes to keep track of the characters themselves because they did not appear with different “voices”. But still, this did not affect my wanting to continue reading this page-turner.I would recommend this book for Book Clubs or any reader who has a troubled child or family member. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59313186-the-outcast-a-novel-paperback-april-14-2009](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59313186-the-outcast-a-novel-paperback-april-14-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
