Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before- of the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and her betrayal of him. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.

Reviews for Wuthering Heights

It is as if Emily Brontï¿½ could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. --Virginia Woolf
