Description
Hareton Earnshaw, the natural inheritor to Wuthering Heights, is a solitary, rough young man, widely regarded as having been cheated of his birthright by his guardian, Heathcliff. He's been made into a labourer on his family's estate, and the gossip concerning him is that he is 'too simple' to know he's been wronged. Hareton is not the simpleton the gossips believe him to be; he has no illusions about his uncle's harsh nature, but the eighteen-year-old is not able to hate where he has been loved. When he meets thirteen-year-old Catherine Linton of Thrushcross Grange, new emotion stirs in his secret heart and Hareton begins to long for a life withheld from him, bringing him into conflict with Heathcliff's agenda.Meanwhile, Emily Brontë's joy that Wuthering Heights has found a publisher is short-lived when she divines that her work will be overshadowed by her older sister's Jane Eyre. Even so, she must lay the ghosts of Cathy and Heathcliff to rest, even as her own life is coming to an end.
