This was the first classic I ever enjoyed, and I recently read it again as an ebook. I loved it just as much! The style is quite accessible to a modern reader and the description is quite evocative and picturesque, especially of the moors and of Heathcliff, the main character. The book concerns his unrequited love for the beautiful Catherine, and the horrible damage this causes to the Earnshaw and Linton families. Was Heathcliff just a bad person, or did a lack of love turn him that way? And could love have saved him? This book explores such questions.
