‘An astonishing novel’ The Independent
{"strong"=>["I am William Lee: brute; liar, and graveside thief."]}
{"strong"=>[{"em"=>["But you will know me by another name."]}]}
Heathcliff has left Wuthering Heights, and is travelling across the moors to Liverpool in search of his past.
Along the way, he saves Emily, the foul-mouthed daughter of a Highwayman, from a whipping, and the pair journey on together.
Roaming from graveyard to graveyard, making a living from Emily’s apparent ability to commune with the dead, the pair lie, cheat and scheme their way across the North of England.
And towards the terrible misdeeds — and untold riches — that will one day send Heathcliff home to Wuthering Heights.
