The Brontë Sisters: Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre by Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë

2.0

Gothic? Yes. Historical and gloomy? Yes. You want a tale of two people who are introverted, nasty, and selfish? You can find it here. I was looking forward to finally reading Wuthering Heights, but now I can't tell you why. I have a reader group that adamantly defended it when I questioned why this is even considered classical literature. You want gothic with a statement about sweeping period injustice, retribution, redemption, and love? I recommend Dickens. I am definitely biased in that I have to be able to find something redeeming in at least one character, and I didn't find it here. Not even the narrator, to me, has any redeeming qualities. Although I guess some of this has more to do with the sheer stubborn selfish nature of every other character in the book. Not on my favorite list.
