This revolutionary work, the only published novel by Emily Brontë, transgressed all the moral standards of its day, bringing us a wildly free story of love and cruelty in a tale that champions women’s liberty. We discover the bleak fate that awaits two families—the Earnshaws and the Lintons—because of the indestructible bond forged between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, her adopted brother. Their uncontrollable passion is played out on the gloomy Yorkshire moors over various generations until peace finally comes to reign.
