Summary
The storm that dismantles a dynasty…
1780. Wild and windswept Yorkshire. Sixteen-year-old Heathcliff runs from the only home he has ever known in a squall of pain and fury.
Blown into an inn on the edge of the moors, sodden, rejected, and hankering for revenge, he steals a horse and sets out for Liverpool in search of answers. The town he arrives in is a brutal new world, brimming in equal measure with risk and opportunity. Here, Heathcliff might map his future, make his fortune, forge a role for himself. But at what cost…
Reimagining the three years during which Heathcliff is absent from Wuthering Heights, This Thing of Darkness traverses countries and oceans in pursuit of one of literature's best known characters.

Stunning
This novel is a remarkable achievement. To take the initial idea of chronicling Heathcliffe’s lost years and realise them with such craft and unwavering commitment to the diverse voices within this book is hugely impressive. Despite not having fully read Wuthering Heights (yet) it did not impact my enjoyment of this fantastic story. Highly recommended!

Amazing attention to detail
A stunning book depicting dark times and truly horrible people. Meticulously researched.
I enjoyed the different voices which brought the characters to life.
