This is a worthy sequel to Wuthering Heights. The story contains brilliantly developed characters and replicates the atmosphere and tone of the original book very well. It is structured the same too with Lockwood's son being told the history of Wuthering Heights and The Grange, picking up from the end of the original book, by Nelly's niece.
The book covers many years and 3 generations and focuses on the ideas of history repeating itself and character traits being passed down generations. This was fine until we got about 2 generations in and the repetition of situations and personalities felt unrealistic and forced.
Overall this was a enjoyable read and one I would certainly recommend to anyone who wants more of the Wuthering Heights story.

It was about as depressing as Wuthering Heights, and I do not understand those Earnshaw women at all, but it was still a good read.

Lust gone wild again. If you want more Wuthering Heights, this is the book for you. More Cathies (sp?)> It was a real fine for me, a bit more modern in its adult situations.

Generations pass on same traits; i didn't really like it. I was more than satisfied with 'Wuthering Heights' that I felt this repetitive and couldn't even bring myself to finish it.

Writing a sequel to Wuthering Heights is no easy task, but Anna L'Estrange has done a fantastic job! Once I had started, it was hard to put the book down.
