Wuthering Heights is a book about a passionate love story between Catherine Earnshaw, belongs to a bourgeois family, and Heathcliff, tramp adopted by this family. But the social differences did that they had to separated and Catherine get married with Edgar Linton, that belongs to a bourgeois family too. Catherine didn't be happy in her family and her new house and fall ill and this is added that her husband's sister ran away with Heathcliff and married in secretly. After this love story there was another between Catherine and Edgar's daughter called Catherine and Heathcliff's son called Linton. But didn't last long because Linton died, and Harenton Earnshaw, Catherine's cousin, fall in love with her.
The most impressive of this novel is the narration. There past, specifically from the beginning of the love story between Catherine and Heathcliff to when Catherine married with Linton. So, the past is narrated by a maid called Nelly that saw this love story. And the present is explained by Lockwood a man who rent a house that owns Heathcliff.
On the other hand I didn't like the atmosphere. It was negative, depressing, with deaths at all ours, with hints of mystery and fear. The spaces described in all the book are dull, cloudy, with storms, terror... It explains the name of the novel.
It is a fabulous story and book if you like love stories. But it isn't the typical love story because always win the death. So, I recommend it because in spit of it is a fantastic novel because the way that it is narrated and the characters introduced you quickly.
