What is your favourite book?

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I have loved it ever since studying it for A Level English Literature and constantly reread it even now.

It has been a delight to catch up with you and thanks for sharing your story.

A final word from Emily Bronte: “I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.” Emily Brontë
