Embroidering the classics is a venerable literary tradition that sometimes goes awry. Here, however, Haire-Sargeant, a professor of 19th-century literature at the University of Massachusetts, conjures the dark, brooding air of Wuthering Heights with striking authenticity. This refreshingly well-spun fantasy re-creates Heathcliff's three lost years, between the time he fled Yorkshire to seek his fortune to his return to claim Catherine Earnshaw. The events of this time are related in a long-lost letter to Cathy, delivered on the day of her marriage to Edgar Linton, which meddling housekeeper Nelly Dean had kept from her mistress. Haire-Sargeant's inventive story takes liberties with more than Wuthering Heights ; she also invokes Jane Eyre and Pygmalion . amed characters--wild, tempestuous Cathy, who pouts and postures in this version; steely, mousy governess Jane Eyre; a more jovial Mr. Rochester, recast as Heathcliff's savior Mr. Are; and even Charlotte and Emily Bronte themselves pop in and out of the novel, making it seem at times like an overwrought drawing-room comedy. The romance novelist's urge for a happy ending threatens to overwhelm Bronte's original intentions, but a wry final twist prevails. Some Bronte devotees may be appalled at Haire-Sargeant's temerity, but most readers will enjoy this nicely executed tale.

Returning home from Brussels, Charlotte Bronte shares a train compartment with Mr. Lockwood and spends the night reading a letter from Heathcliff to Cathy explaining his absence. Nelly Dean had been charged with delivering the letter, but she chose instead to keep it hidden for 60 years; then she seeks Lockwood's assurance that she had done the right thing. In the letter, Heathcliff describes his experiences as the protege of Mr. Are of Thornfield. While the conclusion belies Emily Bronte's vision of Cathy and Heathcliff, the story is suspenseful and well told. Those familiar with the Brontes' work will be fascinated with Haire-Sargeant's conception; others will find that the story stands on its own. Necessary for Bronte collections and also recommended for fiction collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 3/15/92.

Sequelmania strikes again as Haire-Sargeant presumes upon Emily Bront‰'s stark, strange masterpiece, delivering a story that achieves a slight success as a literary pastiche but never becomes a satisfying work of fiction in its own right. The novel commingles the author's invention with elements in both Emily and Charlotte Bront‰'s fictional worlds. The literary sisters themselves appear as characters, interacting with Charles Lockwood, Nelly Dean, Edgar Linton, et al. It all begins with Charlotte sharing a railway compartment with Charles Lockwood, who shows her a long letter from Heathcliff to Catherine Earnshaw recounting his doings in the three years he was absent from Wuthering Heights. This letter was contained in a letter from the Heights' old housekeeper, Nelly Dean, in which she confesses that she intercepted Heathcliff's missive to protect Catherine, and now, on her deathbed, wonders whether she did the right thing. While Mr. Lockwood sleeps, Charlotte reads Heathcliff's letter, an account to Cathy of his flight to Liverpool, where he met up with one Mr. Are; the older gentleman took him as his proteg‚ with the aim of refining him. Heathcliff took instruction well, motivated by his desire to be worthy of his beloved Cathy. A surprise meeting with his rival Edgar Linton at Mr. Are's house ended with an improbable act of vengeance on Heathcliff's part. Mr. Are took Heathcliff abroad with him and there fell in love with a young governess named Jane Eyre; upon returning to England, he was about to marry her when it became known that he had a wife, Bertha, who was insane and confined in the attic of his house. Throw in the occasional italicized stream-of-consciousness rumination by Catherine Earnshaw and you have a veritable peat bog of a novel in which a solid footing is hard to attain. Stick to the high ground of the original instead. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Great fun for any Brontë lover!
By Kathleen Valentine
I recently came across H: The Story of Heathcliff's Journey Back to Wuthering Heights by Lin Haire-Sargeant. It is a great deal of fun to read if you are a Brontë fan and, what she did was so diabolically clever that I found myself grinning as I read.
Basically she used the tale-within-a-tale technique to describe a train trip that a fictional Charlotte Brontë was taking back from France when an ill-fated love affair ended. On the train she encounters a man who tells her about a trip he is taking to visit an old friend on her death bed. Soon he persuades Miss Brontë to read a series of letters sent him by this lady and the fun begins. Of course using such a construct for a novel is extremely clever because you can cover any gaps in credibility with missing pages to letters or letters to another party or simple human error but this story doesn't really rely on this at all.
All lovers of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights know the story --- Catherine Earnshaw has become enthralled by Edgar Linton and, while talking with their housekeeper Nellie, complains that while she loves Heathcliff, it would "degrade her" to marry him. Heathcliff overhears this and flees. Some years later Cathy is now married to Edgar and Heathcliff returns --- wealthy and a gentleman (though sort of in the sense that Tony Soprano can act like a gentleman at times) --- but it is too late. Everything goes downhill from there.
Well, Haire-Sargeant picks up the story at the moment Heathcliff flees, ragged, filthy and furious, and finds his way to London where he is discovered outside an insane asylum by the mysterious "Mister Are". Mister Are takes a liking to Heathcliff and invites him back to his home where he sets about the process of making a gentleman of him. The rest of the story is genuinely enjoyable.
What makes it so clever is that any devoted Brontë fan will, in short order, begin to recognize names and places and, grinning madly as you read, say "Ahhhhhh, `Are' for Rochester!" The magnanimous Mister Are lives in Thornfield Hall and has a dog named Pilot and pretty soon Mrs. Fairfax shows up followed by Blanche Inghram. So now Emily Brontë's story has merged with her sister, Charlotte's story Jane Eyre. Great fun! As the story progresses there are a lot of things that are perhaps wild and improbable but then both stories are wild and improbable so who cares. My favorite part was once Rochester hired the "governess" that he falls in love with and she and Heathcliff do NOT get along. Frankly, the only two people who ever got along with Heathcliff were Cathy and now Mister Are.
The book is beautifully written and as engrossing as its inspirations. Anyway, I loved the book because, having read both of the books from which it grew many times, it was like spending a weekend with old friends and discovering all kinds of astonishing new things about them! --- from ParlezMoiBlog.com

I loved this book and thought that it was very well done.
By Marnie J
I have not read Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre recently, but I have read both of them, probably multiple times, in the past. While The Story of Heathcliff's Journey Back to Wuthering Heights is not perfect and could have stayed somewhat closer to the Brontes' novels; it was nonetheless very well done, very well done indeed. I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the occasional discrepancies and liberties taken.

I would have loved it more if it was an original story.
By Meredith (Austenesque Reviews)
Did you ever wonder how Heathcliff made his fortune? Where he went for those many years after he heard those life-changing words uttered from Cathy, "It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff." You can imagine how that stayed with him and motivated him into some kind of action. But what was it that he did? How did it all happen?
Author Lin Haire-Sergeant makes a bold attempt to fill in that space and explain Heathcliff's life during that time. What I did like about this book is that the story is told by two narrators (which is very similar to Wuthering Heights!) Mr. Lockwood is traveling on a train on his way back to Gimmerton to see Nelly Dean who is on her death bed (this book takes place 20 years after the end of WH). His fellow passenger on the train is none other then Charlotte Bronte! Mr. Lockwood shows her a letter that Nelly Dean sent him and asks her to read it and advise him. The letter is written from Heathcliff to Cathy upon his return to WH and in it he explains what has happened to him and were he has gone. This takes up majority of the book, and Heathcliff is our narrator. Unfortunately, the letter is never delivered and if it was we can imagine that the course of WH would have been very different!
What I didn't like about this book was that the author used the plot and characters from another story to create Heathcliff's path. At first it was fun to discover the similarities and spot the parallels in the story, but by the end I wished that the author would have created her own back story and give us tale that wasn't borrowed. If this was done, then this book would become one of my favorites! I would have liked more creativity and imagination from the author, she has an excellent writing style and I loved her portrayal of Heathcliff. She showed how Cathy was always on his mind, always motivating his actions.
I recommend this book to any Wuthering Heights or Bronte fan. But I would advise you not to have high expectations. While you may enjoy Heathcliff's story you may walk away feeling as I did that it would have been better if she did not borrow it from another book. OR you may like the connections she made between the two books and not mind it being borrowed.
