4.0

An incredible tale of manic, possessive, violent love set in a Gothic setting, Wuthering Heights shows the destructive nature of revenge. It is also an exploration of abuse, and how abused children who are failed by the village who is supposed to raise them will find ways to exert their own measure of violence, brutality and neglect as they grow older. The prose is beautiful and disturbing at times but ultimately unforgettable. This book has killed me - I hope it haunts me now.
