Have you officially jumped on the Wuthering Heights bandwagon yet? If you’re anything like us, reading this classic novel by Emily Brontë for the first time, you may find yourself thinking “WTF!?” on every other page, confused about the point of view, the narrator, the timelines, and the ghosts…? And we get it! So do not fret; we’ve got you!

Welcome to our newest bonus series where we’re taking deep dives into some of the most beloved classics of our time, kicking it off with Wuthering Heights! We’re just in time for the new and controversial movie written and directed by Emerald Fennell… starring Margo Robbie and Jacob Elordi and marketed as “the greatest love story of all time.” 🤔

We decided that rather than attempt to become overnight experts we would phone a friend! And today Rebecca @novelbakery is here to give us a crash course in Wuthering Heights and provide us with the tips and tricks we need to go into this novel with a leg up.

Rebecca breaks down the main characters, the setting and timelines, gives us some background on Emily Brontë herself, outlines central themes, and gives us all her advice on how to truly immerse yourself in this story. And then answers the question: Is Wuthering Heights actually a romance?
