具體描述
1957, and Lewis Aldridge is travelling back to his home in the South of England. He is straight out of jail and nineteen years old. His return will trigger the implosion not just of his family, but of a whole community. A decade earlier, his father's homecoming casts a different shape. The war is over and Gilbert has recently been demobbed. He reverts easily to suburban life - cocktails at six thirty, church on Sundays - but his wife and young son resist the stuffy routine. Lewis and his mother escape to the woods for picnics, just as they did in wartime days. Nobody is surprised that Gilbert's wife counters convention, but they are all shocked when, after one of their jaunts, Lewis comes back without her. Not far away, Kit Carmichael keeps watch. She has always understood more than most, not least from what she has been dealt by her own father's hand. Lewis' grief and burgeoning rage are all too plain, and Kit makes a private vow to help. But in her attempts to set them both free, she fails to predict the painful and horrifying secrets that must first be forced into the open.
As menacing as it is beautiful, "The Outcast" is a devastating portrait of small-town hypocrisy from an astonishing new voice.

我毫不猶豫的因為這個標題，去買瞭這本書，因為青春這個詞匯再次觸動瞭我的心弦。在書中，我看到的是一個在愛的漩渦中掙紮的迷茫少年，到被誤解後韆夫所指的對象，像極瞭曾經的我。如此相同的際遇，像是又讓我用一種成熟的心態去經曆瞭那段風霜。隻不過我已不是第一人稱...
評分孩子看不懂大人的世界，大人忽視孩子的感受。 孩子踮起腳尖眼巴巴地等著父親迴來，父親卻覺得有什麼好等的。父親和一群大人推杯換盞，對彆人點頭哈腰，要是隔一段沒什麼事，鎮上的人都覺得悶得慌，巴望著誰傢齣點事，好有寫談資。路易斯不覺得這有什麼趣，他隻覺得和夥...

這是什麼破故事……

评分慘綠的sentimentality。倒數三分之一迴來和Kit的互動開始有淚點。不過對於少年受到的壓抑有點過於簡化，對Kit和Mother的描寫過於理想化 - angels of light. Jones的筆觸太直白瞭，每一個細節都要把潛颱詞錶達齣來，慘處更慘。結尾終於可以稍微呼齣一口氣: hope you got saved!
评分超愛BBC改編的劇版，可惜買不到實體書，隻能看eBook。 看完後覺得，改編的劇版拍得真是太好瞭，基本遵循原著，提取精華的同時摒棄一些相對無關緊要的情節。 但是，作者文筆的確不怎麼樣，各種大白話，斷句也很奇葩……閱讀感受不好，全靠設定撐起全書。 總結：看劇就夠瞭，不要看原著。
