Description
The Lost Child by Caryl Phillips is a heartrending story about the devastating consequences of loss and exile. In 1960s Yorkshire, Monica Johnson raises her sons in isolation after falling in love with a foreigner, but when her younger son Tommy disappears, the family bond is irreparably broken. This novel weaves together two narratives: the modern story of Monica's family and the enigmatic childhood of Emily Bronte's Heathcliff. As the past and present collide, Phillips explores themes of freedom, belonging, and the enduring power of the human spirit. A heartbreaking and compelling read, The Lost Child is a poignant exploration of the complexities of family, love, and identity.
