The Heights

247 pp. | Feiwel | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-312-36853-1 $16.99
(2) YA This revisioning of Wuthering Heights is set in contemporary San Francisco. Through alternating first-person narration, readers follow popular Catherine toward her tragic fate, while Heathcliff-stand-in Henry spirals from sensitive, lovelorn boy to violent, self-destructive brute. Themes of wealth and class, jealousy and alienation are also explored. James succeeds at creating a modern-day story of doomed love with convincing depth of emotion.
