Outcast
by Rosemary Sutcliff
5 out of 5 stars
In a small village on the edge of Britain, Cunori finds in the shipwreck of a Roman vessel a tiny baby still alive among the dead crew. The question remained: Should they leave the child to die because of his Roman roots or to take him in and raise him? The latter choice is chosen, and from the age of nine Beric must defend himself due to his forbidden roots. He is finally thrown out of his village and must find his way among his blood people, of which he knows nothing. He will struggle through years of trouble and cruel treatment and finally discover some remaining blood relatives.
This book is very good and exciting! It can be very sad at times and very happy or exciting at other times. But you will enjoy this book even more with the understanding that this Beric is NOT a historical figure (which I originally thought).
