About this book
A foundling brought home to a remote farmhouse grows up alongside Catherine Earnshaw, and the bond between them becomes the defining force — and the curse — of two families. When Heathcliff returns from years away, rich and unforgiving, he sets out to settle every score.
Told through a housekeeper’s recollections to a bemused visitor, Emily Brontë’s only novel is stormy, strange and utterly unlike anything else of its time.
