Wuthering Heights
In case you were wondering, Wuthering Heights was unlike what I expected. I expected it to be some sort of romance, and it is, but I thought it would have satisfying romance, not frustrating romance. It's quite unlike any book I've ever read. The biggest surprise was finding that it was written first person by a man, even though the real author is a women. So far though, most of the book has been taken up by the man, Mr. Lockwood, retelling a story told him by the housekeeper of his new residence. I'm only half way through though mind. I keep expecting for the story to turn it's direction to what the man is gonna do about his new landlord and and the landlord's pretty, widowed daugter-in-law. It just keeps going on about the widowed daughter in laws mother and Heathcliff, the landlord. This is where the frustration comes in. They were in love, but both to proud until it was to late. I keep reading hoping for some satisfying romance to happen with Mr. Lockwood.
