Book Description

Series: Oxford Bookworms Library | Publication Date: August 17, 2000

The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle and Enigmatic Glimpses, September 30, 2007

By

This review is from: The Oxford Bookworms Library: Stage 5: 1,800 Headwords The Garden Party and Other Stories (Paperback)

These nine stories feature various gentle, usually innocent main characters who are faced with dilemmas or knowledge that even they do not often understand. The stories are well-written. They are touchingly understated. Their gentleness amplifies the almost-hidden pain of the characteres. Somehow, the veneer of innocence in the stories makes the hints of ugliness even more shocking. These stories are enigmatic glimpses into the real world.
