This book tells a story about difficult relationships, love, hate and forgiveness. Mr Lockwood, who's a new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, is about to find out a story of mysterious Mr Heathcliff, the owner of Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights. His made Nelly is going to retell it to him. Heathcliff was an orphan boy who was adopted by old Mr Earnshaw. Heathcliff never got along with Hindley, but he did get along with Catherine. When they got older, they even fell in love. Then, one day, Edgar Linton proposed to Catherine. Catherine consulted with Nelly about it, but Heathcliff heard some things he shouldn't have and he left. Catherine was devastated by that and got seriously sick. Later, she still married with Edgar although who she really loved was Heathcliff. After few years Heathcliff returned and started a revenge- he treated those people bad who had done the same to him. Catherine, after giving birth to a daughter, (who was also named Catherine) died. Heathcliff got his son back, who he had with Edgar's sister Isabel. Young Linton was a very weak boy since his birth and Heathcliff did nothing to help him to recover. Instead, he used him in order to get him married with young Catherine. He managed to do that, but then Linton died. Years later Heathcliff himself died and Catherine fell in love with Hareton- Hindley's son. so the book has a quite happy end.
I liked this book very much. I've also read it in Estonian. For me, there were quite many new words in this English book, but I still understood the main point and have understood it even without reading it first in Estonian. It's quite sad and depressing book to read, but still good in it's own way. It's interesting from the beginning to the end. I'd definitely recommend this book to everyone!
