It pleased Aliena that they were all together: she and Jack and their children, and Jack's mother, and Aliena's brother, and Martha. It was quite like an ordinary family, and Aliena could almost forget that her father had died in a dungeon, and she was legally married to Jack's stepbrother, and Ellen was an outlaw, and– She shook her head. It was no use pretending this was a normal family. Ken Follett
About This Quote

All of the characters in "Wuthering Heights" are bound together by ties of blood and friendship. They are family, but they are also more than that. They all have something special that makes them unique. Aliena's love for her family makes her the kind of person who can easily forget about her troubles and just enjoy life. Her love for Jack is what keeps them bound together, despite all of the problems they face.
