M. Coetzee’s \u003ci\u003eFoe\u003c\/i\u003e, Caryl Phillips revisits Emily Brontë’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 Brontë 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","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42870737207376,"sku":"9781250094650B","price":12.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781250094650-l.jpg?v=1785883618","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-lost-child-9781250094650b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
