This was my second time to read this classic novel by Emily Bronte, the first time I read it was well over ten years ago so I only had a vague memory of not liking Heathcliff very much when I started this story again.
On the second reading I reaffirmed with myself that I still don't like Heathcliff, I know he's tortured and misunderstood and unlucky in love but he's still a brute! And as for Cathy she was a spoilt little wretch wasn't she?
However and Hareton stole my heart and despite my dislike of the main characters I loved reading this book again. I loved the passion it stirred in me for the characters and the outcome and it has to be said that the story remains a timeless classic!
