A gripping and heartbreaking novel that re-imagines life at Wuthering Heights through the eyes of the Earnshawsβ loyal servant, Nelly Dean. Young Nelly Dean has been Hindleyβs closest companion for as long as she can remember, living freely at the great house, Wuthering Heights. But when the benevolence of the master brings a wild child into the house, Nelly learns she must follow in her motherβs footsteps, be called "servant" and give herself over completely to the demands of the Earnshaw family. But Nelly is not the only one who finds her life disrupted by this strange newcomer. As death, illness, and passion sweep through the house, Nelly suffers heartache and betrayals at the hands of those she cherishes most, tempting her to leave it all behind. But when a new heir is born, a reign of violence begins that will test even Nellyβs formidable spirit as she finds out what it is to know true sacrifice. Nelly Dean is a wonderment of storytelling and an inspired accompaniment to Emily Bronteβs adored work. It is the story of a woman who is fated to bear the pain of a family she is unable to leave, and unable to save.
