Title: The Outcasts
Author: Kathleen Kent
Narrator: Ellen Archer
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-01-13
Publisher: Headline Digital
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
From the author of The Heretics Daughter, an epic Texan adventure of love, loss, and kinship - for any fan of True Grit; for any reader or listener of the best-selling Geraldine Brooks.
Greed. Desire. Death. Love.
It's the 19th century on the Gulf Coast of Texas, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. Lucinda: intelligent, passionate, wily and courageous - a woman who braves her affliction and risks her own life to pursue her lover, a man as charismatic as he is ruthless.
Nate: pure of heart, and with a strong sense of justice - a Texas policeman who belies his gentle nature to fight and seek the truth.
Bill: a killer who has claimed the lives of men, women and children across the frontier. A man who knows what he wants and will do anything to claim it.
The Outcasts. A disparate group of men who have made a living out of violence, and a woman who will stop at nothing to prove herself.

Great literary historical fiction
Great literary historical fiction, this book has wonderful character development and some surprising plot twists in the setting of post Civil War era. Highly recommended.
A little bit " Cold Mountain," a little bit "East of Eden"
The first quarter of the novel had only occasionally interesting passages, but then the two parts of the story began to come together. I kept thinking that if my father were still alive, he'd love this story . You get the story from two sides , female and male. You get a story that really tells you about evil--though from a removed perspective. You also learn what makes a woman become evil. Wonderful ending that brought it all together. A book to love and remember! The reader is wonderful if you're a listener. Highly recommended!
A wonderful read
I picked up this book after reading Kathleen Kent's 'The Dime' which I loved. The Outcasts was also exceptional. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of life in Texas and surrounding states after the Civil War and thought the story itself was great. I was moved by the character's successes and failures throughout the book.
this was good, but mostly predictable and not nearly as well ...
Compared to Kathleen Kent's other novel Heretics Daughter, this was good, but mostly predictable and not nearly as well researched. It is more of a beach read. Currently reading The Traitor's Wife by Kent that is excellent.
Historical fiction at its best. Ms
Kent weaves the stories of her characters together in surprising and suspenseful ways. Historical fiction at its best. Ms. Kent came to our book club to tell us about her inspiration for this novel.
