âAudaciousâ, âa page-turnerâ and â has the makings of a feminist classicâ INDEPENDENT
A gripping and heartbreaking novel that reimagines life at Wuthering Heights through the eyes of the Earnshawsâ loyal servant, Nelly Dean.
Young Nelly Dean has been Hindleyâs closest companion for as long as she can remember, living freely at the great house, Wuthering Heights. But when the benevolence of the master brings a wild child into the house, Nelly must follow in her motherâs footsteps, be called servant and give herself to the family completely.
But Nelly is not the only one who must serve. When a new heir is born, a reign of violence begins that will test Nellyâs spirit as she finds out what it is to know true sacrifice.
Nelly Dean is a wonderment of storytelling, a heartbreaking accompaniment to Emily Bronteâs adored work. It is the story of a woman who is fated to bear the pain of a family she is unable to leave, and unable to save.
