Synopsis:

“Be with me always – take any form –  only do not leave me here in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”

Upon the bleak Yorkshire moors sits Wuthering Heights, an estate that mirrors that wildness and torment of its inhabitants. Savage foundling Heathcliff falls madly in love with his benefactor’s daughter, Cathy, and she with him. But their longing for each other is thwarted not only by social position, but by their own narcissism and volatility.

A book about the weight of choice and the potency of regret, it is filled with an uncanny understanding of the nature of humanity. Emily Bronte shocked readers when the book was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
