pickIt‘s been awhile between short story collections, and they are sometimes a mixed bag. I felt this was a strong collection. The title novella is the standout piece. Tuck brings Heathcliff right back to life in mid-century horse country. Here, and throughout the collection, Tuck casts her eyes across magnetic connections between people, in brief and not so brief moments, and shows us how we can lose ourselves in these toxic connections.
pickA bookseller at my local indie basically insisted that I buy this book, and I‘m so glad that I did. I have a deep and abiding love for Wuthering Heights and have lived my whole life in the southern US, so this was completely in my lane. Of course it made me want to do a reread of Wuthering Heights, like right now.
pickThis collection begins with an engrossing novella imagining a mid-20th century version of Heathcliff on the farmlands of Virginia. The remaining stories continue to explore relationships which are often disappointing, sometimes menacing, occasionally dangerous.
It was a quick read. Finished it in a few hours bringing my February total up to 13. A bumper month for me.
