It was published in 1847 under her pen name Ellis Bell, and although known primarily as a gothic novel, it also contains elements of romance, revenge and tragedy, all tied together in a timeless coming-of-age literary fiction classic.Sneak Peak“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.” SynopsisMany believe Wuthering Heights to be a tale of romantic love, but it's actually about revenge. It follows the life of Heathcliff, a mysterious man who resembles a gypsy, from his early childhood years until his death in his late thirties. Lockwood, a disinterested party, tells the tale; his account serves as the backdrop for more shorter memoirs by the housekeeper at Wuthering Heights, Nelly Dean. All of them centre on Heathcliff's effects on the Earnshaw and Linton families in a remote Yorkshire district at the end of the 18th century. Heathcliff is enraged by the abuse and by the marriage of Cathy Earnshaw, who he loves, with the kind and wealthy Edgar Linton. Heathcliff devises a plot of vengeance designed to impact upon both families and even their future generations. Even after Cathy passes away during childbirth, his obsession with her lives on and eventually kills him.Classic literary fiction from the 19th century that belongs in everyone’s collection.
