“Wuthering Heights” Taken from the flap of the book:
“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
In this epic story of love, envy, betrayal, and revenge, Heathcliff and Catherine come together in a romance that destroys them and those around them.
Set in the lonely and bleak Yorkshire moors, this classic tale of thwarted passion begins when the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, a Mr. Lockwood, is forced to seek shelter for a night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord, Heathcliff.
As the night passes, Lockwood learns of the tumultuous past of Wuthering Heights and of those connected with it … of how a homeless gypsy boy had been fostered here; of how the owner’s daughter had fallen in love with him; of how their love had ended tragically; and, finally, of how that gypsy boy-Heathcliff—had taken a terrible revenge that ruined them all…
A true masterpiece and one of the best gothic novels ever written.
