35. Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë (Part 1)
The Heights… are Wuthering
A dreary manor on a dreary moor is haunted. Metaphorically by an exceptionally angry man, and literally by the ghost of the woman he loves.
Is it the greatest love story of all time? Yes, probably. Does Evan have a hard time listening to that Charli XCX song from the trailer because that reminds him of this book, and that evokes feelings he can’t explain. Jury’s out.
NOT YOUR MOMMA’S BRONTE!!! HA! This one caught the Phools by surprise.
