Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights has achieved an almost mythical status as a love story, yet it is also a unique masterpiece of the imagination- an unsettling, transgressive novel about obsession, violence and death.

Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: of the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and her betrayal of him.
