At its center is Monica Johnson—cut off from her parents after falling in love with a foreigner—and her bitter struggle to raise her sons in the shadow of the wild moors of the north of England. Phillips intertwines her modern narrative with the childhood of one of literature's most enigmatic lost boys, as he deftly conjures young Heathcliff, the anti-hero of \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e, and his ragged existence before Mr. Earnshaw brought him home to his family. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child\u003c\/i\u003e is a multifaceted, deeply original response to Emily Bronte's masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e.
