Description

'May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then' Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: of the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and her betrayal of him. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.
Wuthering Heights' is one of the most powerful stories ever written.

While the imagery in this book absolutely comes to life, the characters are completely awful and dialogue heavy and rambling when it isn’t dripping with passion and the plot is all over the place. In saying that, it’s atmospheric, wild and unruly like Heathcliff. I’ve never encountered so many pathetic men in one book, wailing and ailing all over the place, it was quite bewildering. A hard book to read, but I think worth the read to understand what Wuthering Heights is all about

Lady Luck commented:

Considering Wuthering Heights was published in1847 and Emily Brontë wrote it between December 1845 and July 1846, it is an excellent effort for a woman in that day and age, especially to get it accepted in such a male dominated society.

Oh absolutely, and it's only in more modern times that the book has been appreciated for what it is. It certainly wasn't well thought of when it was first released. It's one of those books that is actually quite hard to describe, but I think what captures so many people is the beautiful imagery and the wild passion, which you enjoy despite the characters and plot.

i actually listened to it. I had the cassette. Narrated by the woman in murder she wrote (can't remeber her name) An utterly stunning book! Can't wait for the movie.

I really enjoyed this book, although I did find it a little hard to get in to.

I found it difficult to get into as well but then it seems to grab you. I found the whole story to be very depressing though and each character had serious dark undertones. I usually prefer a story that is compelling and uplifting but Wuthering Heights just left me pondering the end story.

I picked this up expecting not to like it at all. I had been spoiled by Kate Bush's song of the same name. I was not prepared for the strong emotional power and provocative and skilful use of landscape that was on display between the covers. This is the only book that has ever made me cry. A wonderful, powerful book, filled with passion. Read it now, if you haven't.

What a love story. Each time I read it, I am engrossed in it. My alltime favorite book next to Jayne Eyre.
