Title: Read Wuthering Heights instead.
Review: It appears Alice Hamilton must have enjoyed Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. This book is obviously similar with a few sex scenes added to please the 1990's crowd. Hollis is similar to Heathcliff, March is a parallel to both Catherines, and Hank and Hareton are also identical. Hollis is the abandoned orphan brought home by the wealthy family. The oldest son, like Hindley Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights, is jealous and cruel. March Murray can't settle her reason and passion conflict and her daughter is even involved in a first cousin love affair. Unlike Emily Bronte, Alice Hamilton cheapens the novel with trashy sex scenes and downplays the institution of marriage. For those who are conscious of grammar, Hamilton's use of "you" is especially irritating.
