edit. okay. After giving it some time, I'll bump this up to 3 stars. While the plot is indeed messy, I did enjoy the drama of it all.

Que triste que no pude leer esta novela en el ámbito académico porque el ensayo que hubiera hecho habría quedado exquisito, aunque aquí (en Good Reads) no sabría cómo empezar, quizás por mi primera intención en leer este libro que fue gracias a la maravillosa Mariana Enríquez y su libro “Nuestra Parte de Noche” que cita casi textualmente Cumbres Borrascosas y me dejó impactada con estos paralelismos que demuestran su propia pasión por la obra de Bronte: “Se lo había pedido, cuando estaba viva, una vez, casi en chiste imitando a un personaje de una novela, no me dejes solo, haunt me, no había palabras en castellano para ese verbo, haunt, no era embrujar, no era aparecer, era haunt, pero ella nunca lo había tomado en serio (…)” bastó con eso para que me obsesionara de tal forma con Cumbres Borrascosas hasta poder tenerlo en mis manos y poder leer el HAUNT ME, HAUNT ME de Heathcliff hacia Catherine.
Quiero aclarar que esa obsesión no era en absoluto por las implicaciones “románticas” que demostraban, siendo que en ambos libros (el de Bronte y Enríquez) se ve también el paralelismo de una relación más dependiente que amorosa, en Cumbres especialmente ese aspecto del amor infantil, de querer volver a ser esos niños corriendo en los prados, de reírse de las desgracias de los demás en vez de padecerlas, del egoísmo, la tenacidad y el deseo, que lleva a uno a la venganza (sádica y dirigida hacia los demás), y a la otra a la autodestrucción (masoquista y vuelta hacia sí misma).
Podría escribir para siempre pero lo dejo hasta aquí, si les gustan las novelas violentas, góticas, con fantasmas, personajes crueles, chismes, naturaleza, enfermedad y encierro, pero sobre todo con la prosa maravillosa de tremenda escritora que fue Emily Bronte, la recomiendo muchísimo, especialmente la versión de Penguin Clásicos que tiene una excelente traducción de Nicole D’Amonville Alegría.

it takes you on a truly immense character journey spanning 3 generations and 50 years - and doesn't start coming together till the last chapter or so.
overall, completely worthy of its legendary status. I felt like honestly it could have been longer/more fleshed out at the end, that's my only critique. The wrap up of the younger generations story and the breaking of the cycle of trauma felt possibly like something EB struggled to write, or express. Which to be fair, makes sense.
