Wuthering Heights

by Emily Bronte

Pauline Nestor (Editor) and Lucasta Miller (Preface)

'Wuthering Heights is commonly thought of as "romantic", but try rereading it without being astonished by the extremes of physical and psychological violence' Jeanette Winterson

Emily Brontë's novel of impossible desires, violence and transgression is a masterpiece of intense, unsettling power. It begins in a snowstorm, when Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him and the bitter vengeance he now wreaks on the innocent heirs of the past.

I wanted to like this book SO badly, but I've tried twice and just can't get into it. I'll give it another go someday.

This book makes me glad I'm a hearty American who can get caught out in the rain without taking to my bed for a year and dying after a prolonged illness.
