The Brontë Sisters: Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre
by Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë
As I've said before, I think that characters make a book. This made it really hard to get into Wuthering Heights. Nearly all of them are selfish and cruel and I was only plodding through it to prove to a friend I could read something other than Austen. Then the other night I finished it and could see why it had become a classic. With the villians dead (there are certainly more than just Heathcliff), Cathy and Hareton (who I think were the only true victims in the story) were able to scrape together the beginnings of a happily ever after, overcoming their family history of cruelty and ignorance. That all made it worth the length and density and frequent change of narrator.
