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

3.0

I read this book knowing very little about the story ahead of time. I had some impression that there was a grand romance between Heathcliff and a woman, but I wasn't sure who that was. After reading it, I'm very surprised by what a dark story it was. Heathcliff was such an unlikable character. I understood that he was acting out of vengeance, and that the ill treatment he received as a child was the cause, but I had absolutely no sympathy for him. He was so cruel to everyone around him, even those in the next generation who had no part in the horrible treatment he received as a child.

I did find this to be a very compelling story, holding my interest with all of its twists and turns, and interconnections.
