Booknutt Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nelly Dean by Alison Case ... who else has enjoyed this absorbing tale? Servant Nelly was a regular in "WH" working at both the Heights and Thrushcross Grange, making her ringside to the dramas of both houses, and families. In between that, she lived a pretty eventful life of her own, and Alison Case has done a fine job of weaving the original story into Nelly' s own one, starting with her as a child, through to her old age. I came on this novel by chance, but my hardback copy is one of my treasured "keepers" now, and I know I'll re-enjoy it often. It's in paperback now, it won't cost much to treat yourself, or, of course your local Library will be able to help. Come back and tell us what you think -?

vodkafan Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Interesting! I read WH a couple of months back and Nelly is still fresh in my mind. I might look this up. However, there cannot surely be too much of a plot in this book for Nelly? I am expecting maybe more of her descriptions and thoughts on Cathy and Heathcliffe and the other characters of WH.

Booknutt Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Nelly might just surprise new readers of this book ... it's the quiet ones who need watching, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
