Inside the story

Meet Catherine Linton

Catherine Linton, often called Cathy, is the daughter of Edgar Linton and the younger Catherine, and she grows up at Thrushcross Grange under her father’s care. She is connected by family to the households of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, though her sheltered upbringing keeps much of that history at a distance.

On the page

A real beauty combining the Earnshaws' handsome dark eyes with the Lintons' fair skin and small delicate features, and yellow, light curling hair; high-spirited yet tender, her black eyes flashing when roused.
