Heathcliff''s Tale

Paperback | English

By (author): Emma Tennant

In this chilling tale that revisits Wuthering Heights, Tennant shines a sliver of light on the mysteries surrounding Emily Bronte and brings her to life in enthralling and unexpected ways.
What is the root of evil? Is it born out of anguish, out of hopelessness? Does it linger after the death of the evil-doer? Could evil, possibly, seep through the pages of a book?
After Emily Bronte''s death, Henry Newby - nephew of Bronte''s publisher - is dispatched to her home in Haworth Parsonage to retrieve an unpublished manuscript. Upon his arrival on this stormy night, he finds pages burning in a fire. Fearing this is the manuscript he''s been sent for, he rescues what he can from the flames.
Sheltered from the howling wind and the lashing rain, Henry reads long into the night. And as he does, the line between truth and fiction blurs...
Poring over the pages, Henry begins to wonder whether this narrative is in fact the work of fiction he was sent to recover - or something more sinister, more insidious. Is the spirit of Emily still lingering, spilling the black soul of Heathcliff among the flame and ashes?
Alone, afraid, and tormented, Henry must piece together the enigma of Heathcliff before the night catches up with him... See more

About Emma Tennant

Emma Tennant was a British novelist and editor born in 1937 known for her postmodernist approach to literature often utilising fantastic or magical elements within her fiction. Several of her novels give dreamlike twists to classic novels such as Two Women of London: The Strange Case of Ms Jekyll and Mrs Hyde and Heathcliff''s Tale. Tennant was born in London with Scottish heritage and spent the wartime years in her family''s faux Gothic Mansion in Peeblesshire. After the war she spent some time at an Oxford finishing school studying languages and the history of art and later relocated to Paris to work at the Louvre. Her first novel The Colour of Rain was published under a pseudonym when she was twenty-six. This was the beginning of a prolific writing career producing thrillers children''s books fantasies and several revisionist takes on classic novels.
