Ahh, so
Wuthering Heights is like the Victorian version of Facebook? (present Facebookers excepted, of course...okay, maybe not myself
).
I've said it elsewhere, but one book I cannot understand why it achieves any praise nor why achieved any award, was Iris Murdoch's
The Sea, The Sea. For me, it has a boring, self-indulgent plot which saves this critic some descriptive words by having the characters precisely the same. But that's just me.
