Pickpick

On reread this is a richer novel than I remembered.

Interestingly, this time around Heathcliff is an even more sympathetic character and Cathy more terrible! 😳 He‘s dispossessed body & soul and ultimately not even revenge is his to hold. Only Cathy‘s “love” (if we can call it that) is genuinely his; one can hardly blame him for being maniacal.

Cathythoughts Interesting ! I must read this again, it keeps changing ♥️👍🏻 6d
Tamra @Cathythoughts indeed! I think it will change with every reread. That‘s the beauty of a classic. 😍 Let me know what you think when you finish! 6d
Ruthiella I‘ve only read it twice. On my first read I don‘t think I did much pondering, I just took it all at face value. But when I read it a second time, I thought “Why should I believe anything Nellie Dean says”? 6d
Tamra @Ruthiella 😆 that‘s true! Also Lockwood - it‘s an account we only have from them. They could be telling tales for fireside amusement. 😏 6d
LiteraryinPA You know, I think it‘s time for me to reread this (not because I plan to see the movie). My memories of it are very fuzzy. 6d

This is the #quintessential French ‘coming-of-age‘ novel - hence why I‘ve got 3 copies of it... 1 in French and 2 in English.

(I thought I had 4, but could only find these!)

OriginalCyn620 Sounds good...stacked! 6y
LeahBergen And I have a different edition. 😆 6y
squirrelbrain There are loads of different covers - I just looked online @LeahBergen .... perhaps I should start collecting them all! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 I have faith in you!! 6y
revenge4porgy I tried reading it about 2 years ago. Unfortunately I felt like I had to “work too hard” to understand the plot. I bailed. One of the few times in my life that I‘ve never read a book all the way through. 6y

IMO, Megan Miranda is the #quintessential mystery writer—this was a favorite!
