This Caribbean-set reimagining of Wuthering Heights “takes Emily Brontë’s cold-climate classic on obsessive love and makes it hot and lush” (USA Today).
 
Recasting the classic story of Cathy and Heathcliff into a tale of a love affair set against a historical backdrop of Cuba and Guadeloupe, Windward Heights retains the emotional power of the original while weaving in issues of race and colonialism, in “a narrative that seduces, evokes, and makes us think about the kinds of emotions that have moved human beings throughout our existence” (Chicago Tribune).
 
“Rich and colorful and glorious. It sprawls over continents and centuries to find its way into the reader’s heart.” —Maya Angelou
 
“Condé is a masterly storyteller.” —The New York Times Book Review
