What it’s about

A visitor to a lonely farmhouse hears the story of Heathcliff, an orphan taken in by the Earnshaw family, and his fierce bond with Catherine Earnshaw.

It is stormy, cruel and unlike any other love story of its time.

  • Obsessive love
  • Revenge
  • Nature and wildness
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Why people stop, and how to finish

Two narrators, two generations, and characters who share names. Readers lose track of which Catherine is which.

What helps: Keep a little family tree, or ask as you read. Once the families are clear, the story grips.
