The greatest tragic love story ever told - but this time, Catherine tells it herself. In Catherine, Essie Fox breathes new life into Wuthering Heights, transforming a gothic masterpiece into a haunting confession of obsession, madness and love that even death cannot end.
'A haunting work in its own right ... provides an extra dimension and new perspectives on one of literature's best-known tales of doomed love' Sunday Times
'An extraordinary work of imagination, and a love letter to a great classic ... her best book yet' M.L. Steadman
'Reverent and irreverent ... A must-read for anyone who visits Heathcliff and Cathy's Yorkshire Moors in their dreams' Erin Kelly
'Every bit as gripping as the classic, yet has added immediacy and emotion. Hugely moving' Sean Lusk
-----
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.
Essie Fox's Catherine reimagines Wuthering Heights with beauty and intensity - a haunting, atmospheric retelling that brings new life to a timeless classic and lays bare the dark heart of an immortal love.
