This book really was… something. Compared to Agnes Grey, this was like going from learning how to swim to diving in the middle of the ocean. This is of course a different type of book so it isn’t really a shock. I was shocked though when finding out that the POV of this book were a Mr Lockwood and Ellen Dean, and not at the very least Catherine Linton nee Earnshaw. It was a really interesting read and I might have rated it higher if not for the excessive amount of incest and the constant racism and stereotyping of Romani people. Also to the people who consider this a romance, I hear you and I somehow get you but please don’t go looking for this.

All I can say is that it was different. For me the tale read almost as a ghost story. I am happy to be able to say I read it but I doubt if I ever do again.

This book was so difficult to read, constantly not knowing which character you were, as well as the difficult dialect made it long and tiresome.
