MEDIA REVIEWS
Emily Bronte's Tale of all-consuming love is an omnipotent force to be reckoned with. It's an intoxicating readA beautiful gift,and perfect gems for bookworms.A dark and passionate tale of tortured but enduring love... MesmerisingThis brilliantly atmospheric Yorkshire saga has only one drawback - Emily never wrote another novel. For me,it is both fantastic but also true to life because the protagonists have such believably fierce emotionsWhen I was 16 I read Wuthering Heights for the first time,and I read it as a kind of oracle; that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Disaster does not matter,intensity does. You can dilute Wuthering Heights,as Mills & Boon and musicals have done. But if you are honest,you cannot escape its central stark premise; all or nothing. The all is not Heathcliff - that is the sentimental version. The all is what Heathcliff represents,which is life itself
