Book Description
Perhaps the most haunting and tragic love story ever written, Wuthering Heights is the tale of Heathcliff, a brooding, troubled orphan, and his doomed love for Catherine Earnshaw. His desire for her leads him to madness, however, when Catherine is made to marry a wealthy lord, sending Heathcliff on a life-long quest to avenge himself upon those who stole his only love and his life.
In this gripping chronicle of the never-ending conflict between
the heart and the mind -- and the pain and passion of true romance -- Emily Brontë created an unforgettable classic saga of love, desperation, vengeance, and forgiveness. Published just one year before Bronte's death in 1848 at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights endures as one of the world's greatest love stories and a classic of English literature.

Enjoyable book. I like the strong characters and the web of deceit and drama is craftly written. My only real annoyance was trying to follow what Joseph's character was saying!
I hate to admit that some of the language got in my way while reading this. Anytime Joseph appeared I was utterly lost...but when in the midst of hearing Mrs. Dean tell the story of Heathcliff and Catherine, it was quite easy to get swept up.
