A review by levitatingnumeral
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Emma Rice
4.0
I don't really know how to review this book because I still feel unsure about it.
Admittedly, I thought I would hate it when I first started reading Wuthering Heights; I expected boring romance with weak characters, but everything was a huge surprise to me on that matter.
The story is mainly tragic and, despite revolving around characters that should be involved in a romantic relationship but simply can't, isn't dramatic in a way that could only be described as Mexican soap opera (meaning endless tears because one can't be with him/her they want). Nonetheless, part of the book is full of tears and wanting to be with one's beloved, yet the situation changes so drastically that I can't help but say I love that pairing (or how they're not meant to be and would never work together.)
The characters have great tendency of being proud, following a pattern, yet you can see huge changes (both in good and bad ways) for most of them. Furthermore, one of the most surprising characteristics of the book is that the women aren't weak and loving, as it would be expected since it's a story set in the XIX century; their struggles teach them to react and have their own opinions.
It isn't a story that changed me, but it was rather amusing and I cannot deny the prowess with which it was written, hence the four stars.
