'Mesmerising from beginning to end.' Lizzie LaneYorkshire 1860 With
the heat of their beloved India far behind them, Evie Davenport and
her widowed British Army officer father, are starting a new life in
England. But Evie is struggling. With her dearest mother gone,
Yorkshire with its cold, damp countryside and strict societal rules
makes Evie feel suffocated and alone. Her friendship with Sophie
Bellingham, the gently reared daughter of a wealthy rail baron, is
Evie's only comfort. Until the arrival of local cotton mill owner,
Alexander Lucas. Newly returned from America, it is expected
Alexander will marry and finally make England his home. And Sophie
with her family connections and polite manners is the obvious
choice. But when Alexander meets Evie, a simmering passion ignites
between them. Evie, with her rebellious spirit is like no other
woman Alex has ever met, but to reject Sophie for Evie would cause
a scandal and devastate everyone Evie loves. Evie knows she must do
her duty. But in doing so faces the unbearable future of being
without the man she loves. Praise for AnneMarie Brear: 'AnneMarie

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father.
After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.
The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
