Historia
After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now. For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined.

Gossip as Literature?
Revisado: 12-05-19
An admittedly sad tale of child abuse, but written in the style of a breathless, B-grade newspaper advice column. Narrator tries to enliven it a bit, but look, this is not literature, it's a tell-all narrative best suited for one of those cable TV crime series. Dreadful!

Historia
Famous, all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them. Today considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights was met with mixed reviews when it first appeared, mainly because of the narrative's stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty.

Great narration but tiresome story
Revisado: 12-09-16
I understand Bronte's place in literature but I couldn't wait for this book to end. The overwrought dialogue and sickly sentimentalizing of death ('oh sweet release from this miserable existence,' that sort of thing) reminds me of Dickens, but he tells a much better story, as does Jane Austen for that matter. Still, kudos to Emma Messenger for her fine narration.

Brilliant tragic love story
Revisado: 08-26-16
Superb narration of a beautifully written novel. By today's standards the heroine's indecision can sometimes be exasperating, but that's more a reflection on the elite society of early 20e America than on her. Many parallels to Anna Karenina.
