When Mr. Earnshaw returns from a trip to Liverpool with young Heathcliff in tow, the lives of the Earnshaws are forever changed. Young Hindley Earnshaw detests Heathcliff, while his sister, Catherine, adores him. Thus begins a decades-long story of love and revenge that inextricably binds two generations of families – the Earnshaws and the Lintons – in what is considered to be one of the greatest novels of all time.
