Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë

4.42

Earnshaw's daughter Catherine rapidly forms a passionate attachment to him, but when Catherine's brother takes over the Heights, Heathcliff is lowered to the position of a barely-tolerated farmhand.

When Catherine decides to marry the refined Edgar Linton instead, Heathcliff turns revenger. He determines to degrade not only those who sought to degrade him, but their children after them.

Wuthering Heights is one of the most famous love stories in the English language. It is also, as the Introduction to this edition explores, one of the most potent revenge narratives.

Its ingenious narrative structure, vivid evocation of landscape, and the extraordinary power of its depiction of love and hatred have given it a unique place in English literature.

    I spent 6 month trying to get through this book, it was so boring that it put me off reading for a while. It was a DNF for me and i wouldn’t recommend it

    So this book is about a dude who is treated badly as a kid by a rich family and spends his entire life making everyone around him absolutely miserable for as long as he lives... I know a lot of people love this book, and it is a classic so I wanted to knock it off my TBR reading through some classics, but I would probably not ever reread this. It was just not my jam.
