Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Emily Bronte wrote only one novel, but what a novel! The obsessive love shared by Cathy and Heathcliff affects all those around them over two generations in this stark but beautiful book - sometimes bleak but always powerful, some of the most moving and passionate writing of the 19th century.

Heathcliffe and Cathy's wild romance, the moors, jealousy, revenge, this book has everything. Darker that such books as Pride and Prejudice but I love being swept away every now and again when I pick this up.
