![]() ![]() Truth is, only you’ve been kind to me for years, Cathy. Thank you, macmillan/feiwel & friends, for the ARC! i just wish this had retold more of the original story, rather than just a portion of it. So all in all, i understand TSs retelling choices and do appreciate the changes she made. we only actually get to see them together the last like 2% of this retelling when heathcliff returns. again, i just wish this didnt only focus on the portion of ‘wuthering heights’ where heathcliff runs away and they are separated. its really quite lovely and it does a great job at showcasing the passionate feelings between cath and heathcliff. i understand the choice to only focus on a portion of the content material, but i feel like in doing so, the history of catherine and heathcliff is sacrificed a bit. do i wish this retells more than just a brief section of the original novel? yes and no. i think it suits catherine and heathcliffs relationship. That being said, i like the changes TS makes to the story in terms of ethnicity and cultural identity. ![]() ![]() her authors note at the end helps explain this, but i think already knowing the story will help more. if you dont know the original story, then this may come as a disappointment as you might not understand the nuance and narrative choices TS uses. I think you need to be familiar with ‘wuthering heights’ in order to enjoy or even appreciate this. ![]()
