I almost did a double take when I read that the new film adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is being released this weekend to coincide with Valentine's Day. Seriously? This book is many things — brilliant, intense and unforgettable — but a date-night romance it is not. At least not in any traditional sense. For many years, I put off reading this book, but I finally tackled it during the pandemic when I had more time to read. I don't know what took me so long.
