In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized
backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural
lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. Two
British Indian teens cut off from their heritage find solace in
each other in this gothic Wuthering Heights YA remix that subverts
the default whiteness of the original text. Sometimes, lost things
find their way home... Yorkshire, North of England, 1786. As the
abandoned son of a lascar--a sailor from India--Heathcliff has
spent most of his young life maligned as an "outsider." Now he's
been flung into an alien life in the Yorkshire moors, where he
clings to his birth father's language even though it makes the
children of the house call him an animal, and the maids claim he
speaks gibberish. Catherine is the younger child of the estate's
owner, a daughter with light skin and brown curls and a mother that
nobody talks about. Her father is grooming her for a place in
proper society, and that's all that matters. Catherine knows she
must mold herself into someone pretty and good and marriageable,
even though it might destroy her spirit. As they occasionally flee
into the moors to escape judgment and share the half-remembered
language of their unknown kin, Catherine and Heathcliff come to
find solace in each other. Deep down in their souls, they can feel
they are the same. But when Catherine's father dies and the
household's treatment of Heathcliff only grows more cruel, their
relationship becomes strained and threatens to unravel. For how can
they ever be together, when loving each other--and indeed, loving
themselves--is as good as throwing themselves into poverty and
death? Praise for What Souls Are Made Of: "With its brooding
characters, gorgeous setting, and a romance that sparkles with
electricity, this retelling of Wuthering Heights breathes fresh air
into an old classic." --Stacey Lee, New York Times-bestselling
author of The Downstairs Girl and Luck of the Titanic
