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. ‘An astonishing novel’ The Independent ***** Praise for Michael Stewart: ‘A vivid, inventive narrative’ Sunday Times ‘Stewart’s descriptions of nature are superb’ Daily Mail 'Will leave you breathless’ Sunday Post ‘This book is a terrific tribute to the Brontë’s.
