Description

Cathy's ghost will not rest while Heathcliff's hatred persists. The night that Heathcliff, an unkempt orphan, arrives at Wuthering Heights, Cathy's life will change for ever...but theirs will not be a happy love story. From a harsh childhood to a foolish marriage, a troubled path of pain and punishment lies ahead. Yet no matter how they suffer, they cannot stay apart - for whatever souls are made of, Cathy's and Heathcliff's are the same. After all these years, will Cathy's ghost find the peace that life denied her?

"Landman brings her own voice to this classic: it never intrudes but instead selects and interprets ... An excellent introduction to a novel firmly rooted in the canon of literary greats. More, please!" -- Books for Keeps "Riveting, readable re-telling ... Tanya Landman's storytelling skills shine bright" -- LoveReading4Kids "It's a broiling, uncomfortable, morally ambiguous story and making it accessible to younger readers without comprimising its heart is a tremendous task and one that has been done with real brio" -- The Letterpress Project "This is a deeply respectful and intuitive retelling" -- Bookwagon "Not just the perfect gateway drug to what I think is the greatest English novel, but a brilliant book in its own right" -- Anthony McGowan
