Leaving Wuthering Heights

A recent French novel with several Brontë connections:
Quitter Hurlevent
Quidam Éditeur. Collection: Made in 'Europe
ISBN : 978-2-37491-317-9

Lucie is a psychiatrist. By a stroke of chance, she runs into Hector again, whom she had as a patient fifteen years earlier when he was still a child. Fascinated by his opacity and their magnetic relationship, she lets herself get caught up in his family history before Hector suddenly disappears. She travels all the way to England to investigate his relationship with a toxic father, who made his children re-enact the story of the Brontës, plunging his own descendants into the neuroses
and dark romanticism of the famous artistic family. A novel about the beauty and danger of living, as tormented as it is captivating, Quitter Hurlevent sets up an intrigue, both sentimental and familial, full of the mystery that characterizes the writings of Laurence Werner David.
