About this book
Lockwood, a new tenant, hears the history of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange from housekeeper Nelly Dean, a tale of orphan Heathcliff, raised alongside Catherine Earnshaw on the wild moors. Their bond is fierce and destructive, rippling through generations of the two households as love curdles into vengeance and social ambition collides with raw feeling. Emily Brontë's only novel is unlike the polite fiction of its era: harsh weather, cruel speech, and emotions that refuse moderation. The Yorkshire landscape is almost a character itself, wind-scoured, isolating, and beautiful. A story of obsession and consequence that still divides and mesmerizes readers.
