[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wuthering Heights[/quote] I actually always loved Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Bronte, sister of Wuthering Heights author Emily Bronte) much more. It’s not a passionate love at first sight, and has really unlikely and different heroine/hero types but much more substance if you stick with it. Maybe because I read this around age 11-12 because my mom always watched the old Jane Eyre movie with Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine, and I didn’t get to Wuthering Heights till around 15. It can read slow but the payoff is worth it. Disclaimer and (small and vague) spoiler: for several years I skipped the chapters about her teaching till I got back to the movie storyline; same with Gone With the Wind.[/quote] Definitely have your kids read it and tell them that it describes real love perfectly and that even if their boyfriend keeps his secret wife locked up they should forgive him.[/quote]
