Wuthering heights : the unforgettable love story

I am not so fond of romantic fictions when it comes to reading. I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen but at the end I had this wretched feeling about myself compared to Lizzy and promised myself I shall never read a love story again. But naturally I would break my promise and renew it over and over again. But there is only one love story i don't regret reading. That is Wuthering Heights.

I've never read a more passionate story than Wuthering Heights. Written in 18th century by Emily Bronte, in the same century when the Austen's Pride and Prejudice was written, this unique classic relates a story of a mysterious character called Heathcliffe and his love interest Catherine. The timeline expands to three generations not missing a single element of its strange wildness and intensity.

Wuthering Heights is not a story of refined love, sophisticated conversations and delightful settings. It's an incredible narration of love at its barest and rawest forms. It's not only about love, but also about hatred, sorrow, revenge and every other fervent feelings you can think of.

I had something like a headache, a heavy feeling of my head, the whole time I read the book. It was that much vehement for me. But I will love it always.
