Publisher Description
Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Brontë, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. It was her first and only published novel: she died aged 30 the following year. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850.
Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse on the Yorkshire moors where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect that jealousy and vengefulness have, both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.
Customer Reviews
Basically..
The two worst people you know fall in love and make it everyone else’s problem.
First read + movie
I watched this in anticipation of the Elordi / Robbie movie. While I enjoyed the book more than I thought I would, I couldn’t suffer Linton and the characters, and at times it dragged long. The moors, those I love.
