M. Coetzee's \u003ci\u003eFoe\u003c\/i\u003e, Caryl Phillips revisits Emily Bront 's masterpiece \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e as a lyrical tale of orphans and outcasts, absence and hope. A sweeping novel spanning generations, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of young Heathcliff's life before Mr. Earnshaw brought him home to his family; the Bront  sisters and their wayward brother, Branwell; Monica, whose father forces her to choose between her family and the foreigner she loves; and a boy's disappearance into the wildness of the moors and the brother he leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhillips deftly spins these disparate lives--bound by the past and struggling to liberate themselves from it--into a stunning literary work. Phillips has been called \"in a league with Toni Morrison and V. S. Naipaul\" (Donna Seaman, \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e), and his work is charged with the complexities of migration, alienation, and displacement. Haunting and heartbreaking, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child\u003c\/i\u003e transforms a classic into a profound story that is singularly its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250094650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Caryl Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36648581169308,"sku":"9781250094650","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e82bf701-b0ce-4417-a37b-ee18cac2ecf2.jpg?v=1603870451","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lost-child-9781250094650","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
