M. Coetzee's \u003ci\u003eFoe\u003c\/i\u003e, Caryl Phillips revisits Emily Bront 's masterpiece \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e as a lyrical tale of orphans and outcasts, absence and hope. A sweeping novel spanning generations, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of young Heathcliff's life before Mr. Earnshaw brought him home to his family; the Bront  sisters and their wayward brother, Branwell; Monica, whose father forces her to choose between her family and the foreigner she loves; and a boy's disappearance into the wildness of the moors and the brother he leaves behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillips deftly spins these disparate lives--bound by the past and struggling to liberate themselves from it--into a stunning literary work. Phillips has been called \"in a league with Toni Morrison and V. S. Naipaul\" (Donna Seaman, \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e), and his work is charged with the complexities of migration, alienation, and displacement. Haunting and heartbreaking, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child\u003c\/i\u003e transforms a classic into a profound story that is singularly its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaryl Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction including \u003ci\u003eDancing in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrossing the River\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eColor Me English\u003c\/i\u003e.
