3/20/22: I decided to give this another go as my tastes have changed and while I can still concur with my previous review this time I was able to see past the misuse and understand that both Cathy and Jon were victims of the time and the inability to communication what one was feeling. In Cathys case her father thinking he was doing what was best for her and in Jons being hurt at such a young age and not having the role model to turn to in order to better understand what he was feeling.

6/9/15: I found parts of this disgusting. This book screams abuse and battered wife, but then I have to remember not only the era its from (1842) but the year it was written (1981). A lot has changed since then and sadly this used to be the allowed treatment of women
