Solsbury Hill
“Susan Wyler’s contemporary take on a classic love story is utterly beguiling. Solsbury Hill is a gorgeously well-written tale of a fraught love affair that takes you from New York to the wild gothic setting of the Yorkshire moors.”
Fiona Neill, Sunday Times (London) bestselling author
The windswept moors of England, a grand rustic estate, and a love story of one woman caught between two men who love her powerfully-all inspired by Emily Brontë's beloved classic, Wuthering Heights. Solsbury Hill brings the legend of Catherine and Heathcliff, and that of their mysterious creator, into a contemporary love story that unlocks the past.
When a surprise call from a dying aunt brings twentysomething New Yorker Eleanor Abbott to the Yorkshire moors-and the family estate she is about to inherit-she finds a world beyond anything she might have expected. Having left behind an American fianc├®, here Eleanor meets Meadowscarp Macleod, a young man who challenges and changes her. Here, too, she encounters the presence of Bront├½ herself and discovers a family legacy they may share.
With winds powerful enough to carve stone and bend trees, the moors are another world-one where time and space work differently. Remnants of the past are just around a craggy, windswept corner. For Eleanor this means ancestors and a devastating romantic history that bears on her own life, on the history of the novel Wuthering Heights, and on the destinies of all who live in its shadow.
