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...

Further to my earlier review, I have now discovered that the three books comprising the Emma Grady trilogy are 'Outcast', 'Alley Urchin' and 'Vagabonds', in that order. I have purchased the set, but have yet to read the latter two.

This is a great book, it had me gripped from beginning to end. Jo Cox style reminds me of Catherine Cookson which is why I brought the Trilogy Outcast, Alley Urchins and Vagabons. I have just finished reading the last book and all I can say is "excellent" I'm at a complete loss now what to read.

Emma's spirit keeps you hoping. Although she regularly tempts fate, you can't help willing her on, praying that all goes well. The most appealing effect is that you know good will triumph over evil, eventually. The only disappointing aspect of the book is that its a trilogy and I have yet to discover which book follows "outcast". I need to finish this project as its like indulging in the storyline, will she, wont she. If anyone out there can offer me hope or has experienced the same sense of loss, let me know.

gripping drama with familiar characters.
