Solsbury Hill: A Novel | Susan M. Wyler
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
"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, author of Slummy Mummy and What the Nanny Saw 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 Bronte’s beloved classic, Wuthering Heights. Solsbury Hill brings the legend of Catherine and Heathcliff, and that of their mysterious creator herself, into a contemporary love story that unlocks the past. When a surprise call from a dying aunt brings twenty-something 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 fiance, here Eleanor meets Meadowscarp MacLeod—a young man who challenges and changes her. Here too she encounters the presence of Bronte herself and discovers a family legacy they may share. With winds powerful enough to carve stone and bend trees, the moors are another world where time and space work differently. Remanants 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.

I absolutely loved this book. I am obsessed with English literature also the victorian era so this was perfect. The setting is mainly on the moors in England.

I had high hopes for this book. I was beyond disappointed. Even with Kate Reading narrating, Eleanor is flat and ridiculous. The dialog is so stiff. By the time any aspect of Emily Brontë showed up I was picking apart every aspect. If this were a physical book I would have thrown it across the room. Had I not been driving home from Ohio, this would have been wasted time.

bookmagic I love being able to throw a really bad book 😀 8y
