Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Although I am sure most, if not all of you, have read this at some point, let me jsut recommend this one. Even though my English teacher did all she could to beat this one to death, it's hard to get past the twisted family tree that pervades the novel. To be perfectly basic, it is the story of two households in England that have a screwed up history of deceit and a cycle of revenge that proves difficult to break. The story is told with shifting timelines and a frame narrative, so everything that is said in the first chapter is completely irrelevant until you get to the parts that explain it. Overall, I'm happy to have finished this book, and I did kind of like it.
