Wuthering Heights

 

This is a really great novel (probably my favourite of all time). What appeals to me and is probably the reason that I have read it at least 30 times is that I am always seeing meanings, questions, possibilities that I have never noticed before. Only Shakespeare is comparable in this respect for me. I hope that you find these pages helpful in your appreciation of this classic.
