艾米莉·勃朗特的這部充滿難以言喻的慾望、暴力和越軌的小說，是一部充滿強烈而令人不安的力量的傑作。故事始於一場暴風雪，約克郡荒原上畫眉田莊的新佃戶洛克伍德被迫在呼嘯山莊尋求庇護。在那裡，他發現了多年前發生的一系列驚心動魄的事件：棄兒希斯克利夫和凱瑟琳·恩肖之間熾熱的激情，凱瑟琳對他的背叛，以及他如今對過去無辜繼承人的苦毒報復。
'Wuthering Heights is commonly thought of as "romantic", but try rereading it without being astonished by the extremes of physical and psychological violence' Jeanette Winterson
Emily Brontë's novel of impossible desires, violence and transgression is a masterpiece of intense, unsettling power. It begins in a snowstorm, when Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him and the bitter vengeance he now wreaks on the innocent heirs of the past.
