review 1: I never realized what a creepy bastatd Heathcliff was until you put the story in a modern context. But his behavior was slightly more redemptive in this version. And Cathy a little less of a self-destructive spoiled brat. So actually a bit less of a depressing read than its inspiration (deepest apologies Emily Bronte). I enjoyed this author's modern rendition of Jane Eyre as well. Hopefully she completes the Bronte sister trifecta soon. A little Wildfell perhaps?
review 2: I hate Wuthering Heights--I can't even begin how much. However, I did read this kind of modern-day adaptation of it told by two different women, in two different time periods (mother and daughter, 20 years apart). The mother's story was Catherine's dated 20 years before, while the daughter... more's story, Chelsea, focused more on solving a mystery--and learning vicariously through her mother's mistakes. I appreciated being able to have the romance--and eat my cake too, if that makes any sense in the middle of all my mixed metaphors. Interesting, interesting read. less
