Who has not heard or read about the love torn couple, Catherine and Heathcliff? I saw the black and white movie, then read the book. Both made me cry. Catherine and Heathcliff grow up together, although they are not related, on the Moors. One day, Catherine wants to peek at the nobs living next door and falls from their fence into their backyard. She is immediately rescued by the brother inside and he falls in love with her. He asks for her hand and she accepts, looking at all the finery and luxury around the home. When Heathcliff is told of her upcoming marriage, he flees from her. Years later, he returns, a gentleman of means most obviously. What happens next is anybody's guess but is a beautiful appropriate ending for the times. A sad somewhat dark read but very enjoyable.
