Emily Brontė’s only novel, Wuthering Heights remains one of literature’s most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they’re destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them.
Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.

Review Summary: Wuthering Heights
Review: An enduring tale of unrequited love and desire, Wuthering Heights is a very powerful love story. Loved it, read it many times and will no doubt read it again. Five stars
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Interesting...
Review: After reading "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, I knew I had to read her sister's only novel. Quite an interesting contrast to the love story of "Jane Eyre," but unique and worthwhile nonetheless. A great classic by a 19th century female writer...read it!

Review Summary: Bronte wrote in this book
Review: "I don't know if it be a peculiarity in me, but I am seldom otherwise than happy while watching in the chamber of death, should no frenzied or despairing mourner share the duty with me. I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break, and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter - the Eternity they have entered - where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness."
One should become, to some extent, acquainted with the Yorkshire Moors, the 18th century and be fully prepared to realize that Emily Bronte was in love with death, then let her take you there. You can come back--she didn't.
