Wuthering Heights (Penguin)

Bitter, brooding, and cynical-Heathcliff resides at 'Wuthering Heights', a run-down estate on the bleak Yorkshire moors. But he wasn't always like this. Youthful and wild, once upon a time, Heathcliff had been in love with the singularly charming Catherine Earnshaw. They'd grown up together-he, a lowly gypsy foundling adopted by Catherine's father, and she, a proper lady, born in a family of repute. Their romance was doomed from the start. And yet, they fell in love-an epic, all-consuming love that threatened to devour them whole. But Heathcliff wasn't alone in his affections, for Catherine had caught the eye of another man: Edgar Lipton, a rich and well-bred youth, who, everyone agreed, was a perfect match for her.
