Anna has a busy and fulfilled life. Her problems lie in her private life. Mother to two stepchildren, she decided not to have children of her own. Yet maintaining a maternal love that is not based on a natural blood tie is proving increasingly difficult in the face of irrational teenage hostility.
Old passions and hostilities come back to life in a narrative that continues Bronte's "Wuthering Heights". Hareton Earnshaw (Catherine's nephew) and Cathy Linton (Catherine's daughter) share their predecessors' passion for each other. But has Cathy remained untouched by her mother's wild nature?
