Synopsis
Catherine is tired of struggling musicians befriending her just so they can get a gig at her Dad's famous Manhattan club, The Underground. Then she meets mysterious Hence, an unbelievably passionate and talented musician on the brink of success. As their relationship grows, both are swept away in a fiery romance. But when their love is tested by a cruel whim of fate, will pride keep them apart?
Chelsea has always believed that her mom died of a sudden illness, until she finds a letter her dad has kept from her for years -- a letter from her mom, Catherine, who didn't die: She disappeared. Driven by unanswered questions, Chelsea sets out to look for her -- starting with the return address on the letter: The Underground.
Told in two voices, twenty years apart, Catherine delivers a fresh retelling of the Emily Brontė classic Wuthering Heights, interweaving timeless romance with a captivating modern mystery.

From Booklist
Pulling threads from the classic Wuthering Heights, Lindner (who previously took on Jane Eyre) crafts a story of mad love and moves the stage from the Yorkshire moors to New York’s punk scene. Seventeen-year-old Chelsea learns through a hidden letter that her mother did not die when she was three, but ran away to New York. Chelsea does the same to try to rediscover Catherine and see if she is still alive. Chelsea finds the legendary nightclub, the Underground, where Catherine grew up. Living there is the current owner, Hence, a once-talented musician shattered by Catherine’s marriage to Chelsea’s father. The story is told in alternating chapters by Chelsea and, through her journal, Catherine. Although the voices don’t sound terribly different, the dramatic events touched by love, loss, and longing have all the juicy elements readers will appreciate. While it’s best not to look too closely at some of the details (Chelsea’s father probably could have found her if he looked hard enough), this does have some of the sweep of the original and certainly—especially in Hence—captures the agony of love gone wrong. Grades 9-12. --Ilene Cooper
