Wuthering Heights is one of my all time favourite books. I first tried to read it aged 11 but didn't finish it, I read it the whole way through aged 13 and fell in love with it. I can't really explain why I love it so much, I suppose, maybe, it is to do with the idea of love being stronger than anything, even death.
The way Cathy and Heathcliff are written it's so powerful, here are two characters who love each other more than anything or anyone yet because of Cathy;s decision to marry Edgar Linton they can not be together in live. You can almost feel Heathcliff's sense of betrayal and devastation at this news. Heathcliff, throughout the book, seems to be haunted by this decision and Cathy, in death, realises her mistake. I love the fact they finally come together in death.
