REVIEW: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

JennieB- Reviewsacross the tracks / ghosts71 Comments

I’ve been meaning to read this book since forever. Wuthering Heights may not be the first Gothic novel, but it’s definitely one of the most famous. From what I knew of the book, I always assumed that I would like it a lot – what’s not to like about a ... more >
