The Classics Exposed... The romantic story of the destruction caused by the frustrated love of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, set against the moors of England, creates a rare blend of violence, beauty and erotic love. Heathcliff, an orphan, is raised by Mr Earnshaw as one of his own children. Hindley despises him but wild Cathy becomes his constant companion, and he falls deeply in love with her, discovering that he can tame her unruly nature. Their tumultuous but passionate romance is threatened by the Lintons, who are determined to civilise Cathy. She endeavours to be a lady when they are present, but is as wild as ever when they are not-and remains forever untameable by anyone other than her lover, Heathcliff. When she will not marry him, Heathcliff's terrible vengeance ruins them all-but still his and Cathy's love will not die... A story of doomed love and revenge with a brilliant new introduction of passion fulfilled.
