Catherine, by April Lindner

Catherine, by April Lindner, 320 pages

In this modern re-telling of Wuthering Heights, Chelsea is trying to track down her missing mother, Catherine, whose only clue is a broody ex-rock star named Hence. She gets an education she never expected about her mother, love, and New York City.

The main difference from the original Wuthering Heights is that of the narrator being Catherine's daughter, and it's not a bad addition.  The story still has the love, the excitement, and the element of the supernatural; and Heathcliff's character is still a relate-able jerk. I think teens will enjoy this.
