Wuthering Heights is the novel of classic English literature authored by Emily Brontë in 1847. It tells the story of a passionate love, yet one flawed, like so many love stories, between Heathcliff and Catherine. Heathcliff was an orphan raised by Catherine's father on the moors of northern England. The father, over time, favors him more than his two children and they resent Heathcliff. Although, Catherine and Heathcliff soon become inseperable as great friends and thier friendship grows into love.

Hindley, the brother, continues to hate and abuse Heathcliff to the point that the once orphaned boy moves away and returns three years later from America a wealthy man. Heathcliff finds that Catherine married a wealthy land owner, so he himself marries Cathy's sister-in-law so that one day he will inherit Thrushcross Grange. He ends up making everyone's life miserable as his had been and at one point also inherits Wuthering Heights where more misery awaits. Wuthering Heights is full of engaging characters with many flaws who find themselves in turbulent relationships.
