Wuthering Heights
On the wild Yorkshire moors, the foundling Heathcliff and headstrong Catherine forge a love that curdles into a generation-spanning storm of passion and revenge across two entangled families. Fierce, strange, and unlike anything before it.
Character notes and context for the chapter you’ve read.
A love story like a thunderstorm, cruel, elemental, and utterly unlike anything else. Not comforting, but it grips you by the collar and never quite lets go.
SettingYorkshire moors, c. 1800
On the remote Yorkshire moors, isolated households were small kingdoms, property passed through tangled inheritance, and the line between gentleman and servant could trap a person for life.
