It only takes a few words to change the course of a life…
“It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now.” Cathy’s immortal words had far-reaching repercussions. At just seventeen years of age, heartbroken and penniless, Heathcliff left behind all he knew and headed into an unknown future.
Three years later, he returned – much improved in manners, appearance and wealth.

Sue Barnard
Sue Barnard is a British novelist, short-story writer, former editor (now retired) and award-winning poet. She was born in North Wales some time during the last millennium, but has spent most of her life in and around Manchester. After graduating from Durham University she had a variety of office jobs before becoming a full-time parent. If she had her way, the phrase “non-working mother” would be banned from the English language.
Sue’s mind is so warped that she has appeared on BBC TV’s Only Connect quiz show, and she has also compiled questions for BBC Radio 4's fiendishly difficult Round Britain Quiz. This once caused one of her sons to describe her as “professionally weird”. The label has stuck.
She speaks French like a Belgian, German like a schoolgirl, and Italian and Portuguese like an Englishwoman abroad. She is also very interested in family history. Her own background is far stranger than any work of fiction; she would write a book about it if she thought anybody would believe her.
Sue lives in Cheshire with her extremely patient husband and a large collection of unfinished scribblings.

I I love spin off stories from the classics. Wuthering Heights is one of my favourites, and I always wondered where he went for 3 years. I shall look forward to reading your book.
