Review by Booklist Review

Suri's spin on Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights begins in 1786 Yorkshire. After overhearing Catherine use deplorable words against him, Heathcliff storms out of Wuthering Heights and journeys to London in hopes of becoming prosperous. Heathcliff finds himself struggling to survive on his own, while, back home, Catherine fights with her drunken brother and falls into deep misery. Unlike the original, this book is told from Heathcliff's and Catherine's perspectives, and when Heathcliff narrates, he speaks to Catherine, showing the unbreakable bond between them. Each main character is led on an individual journey to discover their past history in order to find comfort and heal. Suri uses historical information of white colonialism overtaking India to provide a realistic depiction of the time. She emphasizes how skin color marks the way individuals can be treated (the Nelly in this updated story is bold enough to check Catherine's privilege). Lovers of Brontë's classic will appreciate the message of this modified story: no matter what roads we've taken, we're all entitled to kindness in this world.
