November 2012 Guest Editor Kate Mosse on Wuthering Heights...
Powerful and elegiac, a novel of drama, passion and compelling characterisation. Most exceptional of all, though, the brilliance of Bronte’s descriptions of landscape and light on the Yorkshire Moors has had a major influence on my writing about southwest France.
One of Clare Balding's favourite books.
