Wuthering Heights
by
by
A new tenant visits his lessee's grand home, the Wuthering Heights, only to find the most dysfunctional house he could imagine, from Master Heathcliff, down to the servants! On (finally) getting back to his lodgings he gets to hear the very dark history (recounted back to him over a number weeks) of the families that lived at Wuthering Heights and at his lodgings, The Grange. This book tells that story, a story of human savagery, artfully penned, taking on themes of gender equality, class, hypocrisy, selfishness, envy, and let's not forget, the frailty of the male ego. Emily Brontë's only finished novel caused a bit of a sensation when it was first published, and even today verges on being a tale of horror! I loved every single page of it, and spent an entire day wolfing it down. I had no idea that this work would be so readable and addictive. 9 out of 12, flaming Four Star read.

Es ist schon so lange her, dass ich dieses Buch las. Im Grunde müsste ich es erneut lesen.

Thanks Nika, I hoped it lives up to my hype :)
I need to reread this. Thank you, Baba.
I remember reading it in junior high and I thought it was utterly sad but well written. Great review, Baba!
