I'm sorry but I don't get it- why is this book good?

They just bully and abuse each other, mostly for no reasonable reason!

Reading this was just giving me anxiety and making me uncomfortable!
Even though I didn't really enjoy reading this book, I still got through it quite quickly which says something about the writing and/or translation, so good job there!

First book of Victober 2020:; Wuthering heights, still a 4 stars. I have read this several years ago, but I didn't remember much, only the gothic  atmosphere. It is quite different from other Victorian books, definitely not a normal love story. Unhappiness and fever, revenge and fear, in the wonderful setting of Wuthering heights. Maybe the most decent character is Hareton.
