This book was difficult to finish. I found the story line difficult to follow. Some of the characters in this book have the same or very similar names which makes the epic tale confusing.
This book is well written. You feel happy, sad and insightful .
Ms Bronte takes revenge to a new level as far as Heathcliff goes. It's hard to identify with the characters and their lifestyles because of the time frame. 99% of what happened to each and everyone of them at some point in their lives is now a crime with severe punishments. Then again, what Cathy does to Heathcliff, throwing him over for money, comfort and a social standing is still done today. The one thing we all agreed on was that when we read this as young adolescent girls it was a wonderful love story that left us sighing. As an adult, not so much.
