Negative Positive
Title: Alice Hoffman is no Emily Bronte
Review: Superficial and cliched character and plot development. Mediocre writing. Overwrought tendency to "tell" the story rather than "show" it. Too blatant a re-telling of "Wuthering Heights", without the complex nuances and contradictions that made that novel timeless. Good example of middlebrow contemporary fiction.
