"Wuthering Heights" Taken from the flap of the book: "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." In this epic story of love, envy, betrayal, and revenge, Heathcliff and Catherine come together in a romance that destroys them and those around them. Set in the lonely and bleak Yorkshire moors, this classic tale of thwarted passion begins when the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, a Mr. Lockwood, is forced to seek shelter for a night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord, Heathcliff. As the night passes, Lockwood learns of the tumultuous past of Wuthering Heights and of those connected with it ... of how a homeless gypsy boy had been fostered here; of how the owner's daughter had fallen in love with him; of how their love had ended tragically; and, finally, of how that gypsy boy-Heathcliff—had taken a terrible revenge that ruined them all... A true masterpiece and one of the best gothic novels ever written.
