"Halfway point now - maybe I’ll go watch the film now?
Utterly impeccable book. So thrilling, and so full of feeling. I’m finding an deeper empathy this time round - particularly for the likes of Edgar and Hindley, understanding them on an entirely different level, understanding their motivations and their redemptions fully now - which I think is one of Emily Brontë’s singular talents with this book." — Feb 21, 2026 05:26AM

“Swoopers write a story quickly, higgledy-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it again painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn’t work. Bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they’re done they’re done.”
