Viv (Lena) grew up in a prominent family, raised to be poised, composed, and sensible. Everything in her life was neatly laid out: university, connections, a promising career at her own bridal boutique. She was set to marry Ben (Alek), the son of her parents' longtime friends. A good man. The kind of man no one could find a reason to say no to. They fit. Or at least, they looked like they did. And then came Mira (Miu). They were worlds apart. Different generations, different ways of talking, different ways of falling in love. Mira arrived like a small storm; stubborn, blunt, and impossibly charming. She didn't ask to be part of Viv's life, but it was in that unexpectedness that Viv found something she hadn't realized was missing: curiosity, a sense of being alive. And, more confusing than anything, a desire that didn't play by the rules she thought she understood.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
