Discover this heartrending story of orphans, outcasts and the grip
of the past from award-winning novelist Caryl Phillips - inspired
by Wuthering Heights. It is the 1960s. Isolated from her parents
after falling in love with a foreigner, Monica Johnson raises her
sons in the shadow of the wild Yorkshire moors. But when her
younger son Tommy, a loner who is bullied at school, disappears,
the family bond is demolished - with devastating consequences.
Deftly intertwined with this modern narrative is the story of the
ragged childhood of Emily Bronte's Heathcliff, one of literature's
most enigmatic lost boys. Recovering the mysteries of the past to
illuminate the predicaments of the present, The Lost Child is an
exquisite novel about exile, freedom and what it is to belong.
