Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
If you’ve only ever seen Wuthering Heights on screen, you may have an image of Catherine and Heathcliff as the ultimate star-crossed lovers. But that’s just scratching the surface of this iconic Gothic romance. Emily Brontë’s only novel is an unabashedly dark tale of passion and revenge that created shockwaves upon its publication in 1847.
Without spoiling too much, the original Heathcliff is breathtakingly vengeful, cruel, and possessive, not the deeply misunderstood romantic hero of some adaptations. And Brontë’s story does not end happily ever after. After tragedy strikes, Heathcliff haunts the swirling mists of the Yorkshire moors, consumed with possessing a ghost. A must-read for fans of Gothic literature, this novel will appeal to anyone who loves a creepy story.

What a classic
The story is really complex and it is intertwined well but some parts are slightly confusing to understand because of the dialect but overall it is an excellent book.
Good story...
This book wast not the easiest read for me(born a non-English speaking person), but the story just kept me going.
I would recommend.
Very moving, couldn’t stop reading
I know many people have stated this book l be difficult to get through and depressing. I, however found this to be a thrilling and exhilarating read. The constant dramas and changing of things throughout the short space of time that elapses kept me throughly engaged and interested. Emily Brontë writes in a very personal yet powerful way and the characters while lacking in description in some places are able to appear perfectly within my mind through their mannerisms, speech and personalities.
