Wuthering Heights (Bantam Classics) 497 reviews Emily Brontė
Bantam Classics, 1983
very intense
+ Love doesn't always make us happy.
The outdated writing style takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it's good. It's incredible to me how the author, with her unusually limited experience of the outside world, who probably never had a boyfriend or lover in her life and lived a secluded life in a remote part of Yorkshire ...

Henry James : Novels 1881-1886: Washington Square, The Portrait of a Lady, The Bostonians (Library of America) 2 reviews Henry James
Library of America, 1985
The joys of love. . . . are but a moment long
+ "Washinton Square" by Henry James
Henry James, packaged in a beautiful book, with dark print on white pages, is the king of the nuance. To read him, you slow down, you enter his world, a scene of dusk and mood and marrow and sorrow. A novel as sweet as the vision of a cool bath in a marble tub, in a darkened chamber, in a hot ...
