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.

When Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy agrees to accompany his friend Charles Bingley to his new estate in Hertfordshire, neither man could have anticipated how it would affect their lives, particularly in the form of the lovely Jane and Elizabeth Bennet! But when pride, prejudice, and a meddlesome Caroline Bingley succeed in separating the two couples, Mr. Darcy's cousin, Lady Anne DeBourgh, decides to take matters into her own hands. With help from Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam, Georgiana Darcy, and the newly introduced Mr. Dean Montgomery, will she succeed in bringing a happily ever after to those that she loves? This story is not for the Jane Austen purist, for although it has all of the original characters that we have come to love over the years, and it does include the main plot and story lines, it is called a variation for a reason, and will more often than not stray on some points and characteristics of the characters as it is from my own vision. Nonetheless it is strictly in old English, and will remain completely within the bounds of propriety!
