  • 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.

"My greatest thought in living is  Heathcliff. If all else perished, and he remained, I should  still continue to be... Nelly, I am  Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as  a pleasure... but as my own being."  Wuthering Heights is the only novel of  Emily Bronte, who died a year after its  publication, at the age of thirty. A brooding Yorkshire tale  of a love that is stronger than death, it is also  a fierce vision of metaphysical passion, in which  heaven and hell, nature and society, are  powerfully juxtaposed. Unique, mystical, with a timeless  appeal, it has become a classic of English  literature.
