While it may be based upon real-world locations, there's something quite haunting about Wuthering Heights, which has fascinated audiences in projects inspired by Emily Brontë's work.

Mid-Day and the necessity of storytellers:
Even later, realising that I had an ever-willing storyteller at home, I took full advantage of the convenience and indulged her all the time. As a voracious reader, she had built a massive library at home, and I would pick her brains each time I noticed that she had devoured a good book from the shelf; all I had to do was prod her to reveal the ‘story’. So, by the time I was in my early teens, she, after carefully curating its content to make it ‘age-appropriate’, would narrate stories one by one. This would range from horror bestsellers like The Omen, wartime titles by Leon Uris, English classics like Jane Eyre and Little Women, and sometimes, even controversial reads like The Thorn Birds.

Aber auf dieser Reise des Kommens und Gehens, des Unglücks und der Freude geht am Ende alles gut aus. (Translation)
