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.

I don't like to be mean. I don't like to be clumsy. And I try my best to say something that doesn't sound half stupid. Sadly, I'm the complete opposite. It's like I'm a born natural or something. Having one crush, two left feet, and three best friends were the best things that happened in my life. Till I met this guy. Namely, Jack Harries. My life was then threw into a spin. A 9.5 earthquake to be exact. Unfortunately for me, I had a real life barbie-witch who made destroying my life her ambition. Who else could have fit that role better than Jenna Krystabelle Cruise. I swear by the amount of lip gloss she wears, her lips are bound to swell up, turn black and drop off. "Expect the unexpected." -Oscar Wilde. Maybe I should have paid attention to that quote a little more...

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.
