Wuthering Heights

'Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.'

Emily Brontë's gothic masterpiece is an intense, unforgettable tale of a love set against the brutal, windswept Yorkshire moors. When Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights, he discovers the truth about the tempestuous events that occurred there years before; about two families entangled in a vicious cycle of jealousy, revenge, and obsession, and the fierce, unbreakable bond between Catherine Earnshaw and the mysterious orphan, Heathcliff, a love so consuming that it defies death itself.

The evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting, the poetic grandeur of the author's vision, and the haunting exploration of love's darkest edges combine to make Wuthering Heights a masterpiece of English literature.
Emily Brontë (1818–1848) was an English novelist and poet whose singular imagination produced one of the most haunting works in English literature. Born in Yorkshire and raised in the isolated parsonage at Haworth, she grew up surrounded by the moors that would later shape the wild, elemental world of Wuthering Heights.

Quiet and intensely private, Emily published poetry under the pseudonym Ellis Bell before releasing her only novel in 1847. Though Wuthering Heights initially shocked Victorian readers with its raw passion and unconventional structure, it later came to be recognised as a masterpiece of gothic fiction.
