Autumn has just arrived in Brazil, and there’s nothing better than taking advantage of this perfect weather to read. After all, we love diving into a book, feeling the autumn scent on the breeze, and watching the leaves fall as a couple realizes they’re in love!
Check out some of the books that can give off this crazy vibe:
1. WUTHERING HEIGHTS, by Emily Brontë
Considered a classic of 19th-century English literature, Wuthering Heights was the only novel by writer Emily Brontë. The book tells a tragic and profound love story between the main characters, Catherine Earnshaw and her adopted brother Heathcliff. The plot revolves around the purest form of human beings, with the characters depicted as having strong personalities, caught in a cycle of love and hate.
After Mr. Earnshaw adopts Heathcliff, he is warmly welcomed by his daughter, Catherine. However, her brother Hindley feels great jealousy and contempt for Heathcliff, eventually humiliating him. Hindley’s hatred only intensifies when the main characters fall in love, but it is only when Catherine is forced to marry Edgar Linton that the twists begin, and a revenge plot is set into motion. As Kate Bush once said: “Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold. Let me in your window.”
This classic has been adapted several times for cinema, and a new film will be released in 2026, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.
2. ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, by Lucy Maud Montgomery
In this series of books, author Lucy Maud Montgomery tells the story of the charming and captivating Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan. It all starts when Anne is mistakenly sent to the siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who were expecting a boy to help with farm work, but are surprised by little Anne. Upon her arrival, she captivates everyone with her unique and funny personality.
When they decide to keep Anne, she begins living her dream life, attending school, making friends, and experiencing many childhood challenges and lessons. It’s beautiful to see Anne learn how to be loved and to love, but what’s even more interesting is watching her put into words all of her peculiar thoughts.
