Description

Rediscover Emily Bronte’s powerful tale of love, violence and obsession.

‘May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you – haunt me, then’

Wuthering Heights is the tale of two families both joined and riven by love and hate. Cathy is a beautiful and wilful young woman torn between her soft-hearted husband and Heathcliff, the passionate and resentful man who has loved her since childhood. The power of their bond creates a maelstrom of cruelty and violence which will leave one of them dead and cast a shadow over the lives of their children.

Emily Bronte’s novel remains a stunningly original and shocking exploration of obsessive passion.

Publisher Review

Emily Bronte's Tale of all-consuming love is an omnipotent force to be reckoned with. It's an intoxicating read * Marie Claire * A beautiful gift, and perfect gems for bookworms. * So Darling * A dark and passionate tale of tortured but enduring love... Mesmerising * Guardian * This brilliantly atmospheric Yorkshire saga has only one drawback - Emily never wrote another novel. For me, it is both fantastic but also true to life because the protagonists have such believably fierce emotions -- Kate Mosse When I was 16 I read Wuthering Heights for the first time, and I read it as a kind of oracle; that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Disaster does not matter, intensity does. You can dilute Wuthering Heights, as Mills & Boon and musicals have done. But if you are honest, you cannot escape its central stark premise; all or nothing. The all is not Heathcliff - that is the sentimental version. The all is what Heathcliff represents, which is life itself -- Jeanette Winterson
