Don't go looking for a modern-day send-up
of this book >
when you read this one >.
The only thing that Wuthering Heights has
to do with Withering Tights is...well, you'll
find out.
Tallulah Casey's dreams are coming true.
Kind of.
She's at performing arts camp for the summer.
Sort of.
That is to say, she's attending the camp,
even if she's staying with some very strange
people in the nearby North of England.
And she's finding her own artistic vision...or
a wee bit of it.
If you can count slapstick comedy as art.
Anyway, Tallulah's summer is a romp that involves
friends, art, and boys...not necessarily in
that order.
Oh yes.
And the connection to Wuthering Heights?
Well, that's the play that Tallulah and her
fellow students perform at the end of the
summer term...with some...artistic liberties.
This book is light reading to be sure, but
Tallulah and her observations are consistently
hilarious.
I have to hand it to Louise Rennison: this
is one author who isn't just trying to be
funny, but who actually is funny.
Anyone looking for a good laugh—and a few
very, very light references to classic literature—will
enjoy Tallulah and her tights.
