Query: Dark and dreary modern Wuthering Heights

I have read all of Hoffman's books and Second Nature, Turtle Moon, and Practical Magic are in my top ten of books by any author. When I read this book I had not yet read the reviews or interviews so I was unaware that the author was deliberately updating Wuthering Heights. It was rather annoying at first. I also did not like many of the characters the way I usually do in Hoffman's books. This book does create an atmosphere of place and character that brings the reader into the story. I frankly couldn't put it down because I had to find out what would happen to the people in the story.
