And on top of that there is a lot of incest in this book, in the third generation of "lovers". I think this is one of the books that you should not publish uncomented anymore.Â
But I'm very impressed, that Emily BrontĂ« was able to publish books at that time.Â

Okay okay okay, so this needs a rant.
So I tried reading this book a few years ago, got ten pages in, and said nope. I just opened it again, and it took thirty pages of me Hating it, but I kept going anyways. I think I had a slow-burn relationship with this book.
If you're not used to reading classics, the language took a While to get used to.
Anyways, actual thought time: even for five-star books, it's very very rare that I care about how a book will end. But for some reason, this book had me Gripping the pages; needed to know how it ended and what becomes of the characters.
So even for how much I honestly didn't love 90% of the characters (they all pretty much annoyed me) and how I didn't care about certain plotlines, the tidbit of me caring how it ended stood out dramatically.
I also loved that it followed an entire family for like two generations. Stories like that, where you build a World, not just a couple moments, are my favorite, and I don't think I've ever actually read one before in a book.
I will say, my favorite characters were
Alright, that was my rant. Would highly recommend if you're into classics, eh if you're not.

A good ton of this was just because it was written in the 1800s, so like, there are 1800s societal standards. But the child abuse specifically was pretty hard to read.josefineisreading's review against another edition

There were parts that I liked and nearer to the end I found it easier to read. It felt like there was a fair bit of filler but I think itâs more because of the time rather than a fault of Emily BrontĂ«. Iâm writing this having finished it a few hours ago and I can say I wonât reread it but I do think itâs a pretty decent story.Â

Personally I prefer to read books where I like or enjoy the main characters so honestly it wouldnât be my go to pick. However once I got past that I found it was actually a really easy/ captivating read once I acknowledged (not a major plot spoiler)
Despite the slow moving plot I felt compelled to finish it, at least just because I wanted to see if
3.5 stars because it wasnât a bad story
