When her father brings back an orphan from a trip to Liverpool, Catherine Earnshaw is fascinated by the strange, feral boy. Alike in spirit, Cathy and Heathcliff soon form a bond--running riot as children, and later, embarking on a fierce love affair. But when intense passion turns to violent betrayayl, Heathcliff flees--returning as a rich man with a cruel eye for vengeance. Years later, caught in a storm, Mr Lockwood seeks refuge with strangers. And, as wind and rain rage outside, he is drawn into the secrets of Wuthering Heights--and the wild Yorkshire Moors which surround it.
