Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

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.

I impatiently tap my leg as I wait for Beth to pick up the call. I almost give up but sigh in relief when she does, "It better be something important girl, it's 1am." She yawns. "I found a roommate." I nervously chew on my lip, still tapping my leg. "Now that's good news. You are supposed to be excited. Why are you not excited?" "Because of who the person is." "Who is it Evelyn?" I cringe as she says my full name. I take a deep breath. Here goes nothing, "Scott. Scott Adams." She yawns again, "So? What's wrong in.. Wait, what?!" ~ ~ ~ Evelyn Anderson and Scott Adams, two people who are poles apart, start living under the same roof, What could possibly go wrong? Everything! ~ ~ ~
