A gripping and inventive reimagining of Wuthering Heights, by award-winning author Caryl Phillips In the tradition of Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea and J. M. Coetzee's Foe, Caryl Phillips revisits Emily Bront 's masterpiece Wuthering Heights as a lyrical tale of orphans and outcasts, absence and hope. A sweeping novel spanning generations, The Lost Child tells the story of young Heathcliff's life before Mr. Earnshaw brought him home to his family; the Bront sisters and their wayward brother, Branwell; Monica, whose father forces her to choose between her family and the foreigner she loves; and a boy's disappearance into the wildness of the moors and the brother he leaves behind. Phillips deftly spins these disparate lives--bound by the past and struggling to liberate themselves from it--into a stunning literary work. Phillips has been called "in a league with Toni Morrison and V. S. Naipaul" (Donna Seaman, Booklist), and his work is charged with the complexities of migration, alienation, and displacement. Haunting and heartbreaking, The Lost Child transforms a classic into a profound story that is singularly its own.Languages:EnglishPublisher:St. Martins Press-3PLISBN-13:9781250094650ISBN-10:1250094658UPC:9781250094650Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Literary, Coming of Age, Adaptations & PasticheSize:7.90 x 5.10 x 0.70 inchesWeight:0.5Product ID:SCD79JJZ3K
