ribbles 's review for:
Here on Earth
by Alice Hoffman
I listened to this as an audiobook, and I may have liked it more if I'd just read it, but who knows? I think that the story was relatively uninteresting and I didn't feel that the book did much justice to "Wuthering Heights" (I'm assuming the parallels were intentional)--maybe the dark, meloncholy tale just doesn't lend itself well to modern interpretation, but Hoffman's versions of the characters just felt flat to me. Gwen had some life, but March? My god, she was just annoying. I know I've never been a battered woman and therefore have nothing to draw on, but it seems like she should have been smart enough to see what was coming. I mean, come on, she's a grown woman! I'm sorry, but this book was a dud for me.
