Synopsis

‘An astonishing novel’ Praise for Michael Stewart: I am William Lee: brute; liar, and graveside thief. But you will know me by another name. Heathcliff has left Wuthering Heights, and is travelling across the moors to Liverpool in search of his past. Along the way, he saves Emily, the foul-mouthed daughter of a Highwayman, from a whipping, and the pair journey on together. Roaming from graveyard to graveyard, making a living from Emily’s apparent ability to commune with the dead, the pair lie, cheat and scheme their way across the North of England. And towards the terrible misdeeds – and untold riches – that will one day send Heathcliff home to Wuthering Heights. ***** ‘A vivid, inventive narrative’ ‘Stewart’s descriptions of nature are superb’ 'Will leave you breathless’ ‘This book is a terrific tribute to the Brontë’s. It also beautifully shows how landscape grows in the imagination’
