Book
GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. This is Emily Bronte's classic novel in a beautiful leatherbound edition. This version of the dark romance features a satin-ribon bookmark, distinctive stained edging & marbled endpapers. From the moment of his adoption by the Earnshaws, the foundling boy Heathcliff devotes himself to their young daughter Catherine. Growing up together, the two share a love that blossoms into romance, until Catherine's hurtful betrayal. But Heathcliff's emotions know no bounds and acknowledge no limits, not even death. Determined to secure the family estate of Wuthering Heights as his own, the tyrannical Heathcliff vents his bitterness on his and Catherine's heirs, manipulating lives and shaping destinies under the influence of a passion that has curdled into obsession. First published in 1847, Emily Bronte's classic novel was acknowledged by readers and critics as a tale of dark romance as tempestuous and untamed as its Yorkshire moors setting.
