SOURLAND FARM. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.SOURLAND FARM

Sourland Farm is a retelling of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, which is considered one of the greatest Victorian Gothic novels in the English canon. It answers the question: “What if the same personalities and circumstances occurred in our society?” Does time alter human nature - or merely disguise it? Sourland Farm moves the setting to 200 years later and 5,000 miles away, taking place from 1969 through 2002 on the Sourland Mountain of New Jersey, showing how love and cruelty can coexist, how trauma is inherited, and how forgiveness is the final freedom.
