Summary

"When Mr. Earnshaw, master of Wuthering Heights, returned from a trip to Liverpool with an unkempt orphan in tow, announcing to his wife and children that the child was now a member of the family. While young Catherine Earnshaw becomes close with this boy--Heathcliff--her older brother Hindley sinks into bitter resentment of the urchin who has usurped his father's and his sister's affections. As Catherine and Heathcliff grow into young adults, and their affection blossoms into desire, Hindley's resentment boils over into hatred, setting the stage for a tragic and twisted drama whose aftermath will shake the foundations of the family homestead."--, Inside front jacket flap
