Winner of the 2018 New Academy Prize in LiteraturePrizewinning writer Maryse Condé reimagines Emily Brontë's passionate  novel as a tale of obsessive love between the "African" Razyé and Cathy,  the half-Creole daughter of the man who takes Razyé in and raises him, but  whose treatment goads him into rebellious flight. Retaining the  emotional power of the original, Condé shows Caribbean society in the  wake of emancipation.
