Emily Brontë’s only novel is a masterpiece of fierce, unsettling power — a story of impossible desires, transgression, and violence played out against the bleak Yorkshire moors. It opens in a snowstorm, as Lockwood, newly arrived as tenant of Thrushcross Grange, is driven to seek shelter at the brooding farmhouse of Wuthering Heights. There he begins to uncover the turbulent history of the place: the consuming passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him, and the bitter vengeance he has spent years exacting on the innocent heirs of their shared past. ‘Wuthering Heights is commonly thought of as “romantic”, but try rereading it without being astonished by the extremes of physical and psychological violence’ Jeanette Winterson Edited with an Introduction and notes by PAULINE NESTOR Preface by LUCASTA MILLER
