Description

The wild and mysterious moors of Yorkshire are the setting for a passionate connection between childhood friends Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Though they grow up and marry other people, theirs is a fierce love that cannot be tamed by the laws of society or cooled by the passage of time. Bronte's gothic tale explores the irresistible and dangerous nature of a love that knows no limits as it consumes the two people at its core.

About the Author

One dazzling novel, the 1847 Wuthering Heights, was all it took for Emily Bronte (1818-1848) to secure a legendary status among British writers. Together with sisters Anne and Charlotte, Emily was part of one of Britain's most famous literary families. A writer from the days of her childhood in the windswept expanse of the Yorkshire Moors, Emily Bronte is known for a captivating style that embodies the same spirit of untamed wildness and energy.

Incredible

I've read this story three times over, and each time is just as wonderful as the last. Many people find the book dark and hateful, but I see the story as one of the most incredible love stories of all time. Even through Heathcliff's evil ways and Cathy's selfish ways, their love remains throughout life and death.
