Dina's Book


Herbjørg Wassmo - 1989
    Beautiful, eccentric, and tempestuous, Dina carries a terrible burden: at the age of five she accidentally causes her mother's death. Blamed by her father and banished to a farm, she grows up untamed and untaught. Nobody leads the child through her grief, and the accident remains a gruesome riddle of death. Her guilt becomes her obsession: her unforgiving mother haunts her every day.After several years of exile, and at the insistence of the local pastor, her father takes Dina back. By now she has become like a wolf cub. Her father has remarried, to a younger woman whom she detests, and a strict discipline begins. A tutor is brought in; coarse language is replaced by polite conversation, climbing to the top of the trees by music. But the efforts have little effect. Private and closely guarded, Dina nonetheless is able to manipulate those around her, while her unconventional behavior and erotic power both enchant and ensnare.At sixteen Dina is married off to wealthy fifty-year-old landowner Jacob, a friend of her father who has fallen completely under her spell. Jacob dies under mysterious circumstances, and Dina becomes mute. When finally she emerges from her trauma, she runs Jacob's estate with an iron hand. But still Dina wrestles with her two unappeased ghosts: Jacob and her mother. Until one day a mysterious stranger, the Russian wanderer Leo, enters her life and changes it forever.

Arius De Winter - 2009
    Weathering HeightsThis is the retelling of the classic in its original form and verbiage but with a twist, the characters are gay, fall in love and mingle in the most extraordinary way that adults do, they have sex.This book takes great liberties with the original and yet, here we have an entirely new and compelling story of what might have been, what it might have been like to be gay and in love in the 1800’s.If you are easily offended, or simply offended by gay sex, or relationships, nudity, or illustrations of males having sex, then do not purchase this book.This is however, my unedited Proof, you will find errors.
