I have chosen this book for this week, as it along with Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice is one I have heard about the most. I haven't read many of the classics so hope I have picked a good one.

I can't wait to hear what you think about this! I only read a few pages of this before I stopped because I had other stuff to do, then I think I lost my book. If you have a good review, I'll have a reason to look for my book again.
I read this one earlier this year and was surprised by how much I liked it.
I finished this a couple of weeks ago, but have been away on holiday and this is the first opportunity I have had to post a comment. I have to say I struggled with this book. I am not a fan of the 'old English' so I would say it is my issue not the books. It took a long time for me to get into the story. Considering it was written over 100 years ago I can only imagine that for its time it may have been a shocking plot and theme. I found the ending rather disappointing.
