Description
Heathcliff's journey takes him from the Yorkshire moors to the docks of Liverpool, and then across the Atlantic to a sugar plantation in Sierra Leone. Over these three lost years, he becomes a prisoner, gaoler, smuggler, and swindler, forging a path that will ultimately lead to his return and devastating consequences. This reimagining of an iconic character challenges the traditional notion of Heathcliff as a romantic hero, instead presenting a complex and multifaceted individual. Through the eyes of other characters, Heathcliff's story is revealed in all its brutality and malice, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read. Heathcliff's return sets in motion a storm that destroys a dynasty, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. This Thing of Darkness offers a fresh and daring take on a beloved character, one that will appeal to readers looking for a nuanced exploration of the human condition.
