Books on Tap: "Wuthering Heights"

Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet Tuesday, December 30, 7:00 PM, at The Great American Pub, 148 Bridge St., Phoenixville. The group will discuss Emily Brontë’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights.

Emily Brontë's only novel tells the gripping tale of Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, who is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before; of the intense relationship between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw; and how Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.
