What you need to know before your trail

With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow – until Mr Earnshaw’s death leaves Hindley, Catherine’s brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude.

Desperate to protect him, Catherine turns to Edgar Linton, the handsome heir to Thrushcross Grange. She believes his wealth might free Heathcliff from cruelty – but her choice is fatally misunderstood, and their lives spiral into a storm of passion, jealousy and revenge.

Now, eighteen years later, Catherine rises from her grave to tell her story – and seek redemption.

Travel Guide

Yorkshire

Oh if ever there was a novel where the location is just as important as the characters then this is it. The location IS the major character to be honest – the raw landscape, the rolling hills and the desolate countryside…

If you have read Wuthering Heights, then this is a whole new angle to a story you think you know. Catherine has her voice and it is loud and clear.

Wuthering Heights is  evoked wonderfully and the atmosphere is off the page!
