About this listen

Michael Kitchen gives us a masterclass in narration with this intelligent and believable performance of Emily Brontë's classic work. Listeners will be swept up in Heathcliff and Cathy's turbulent love affair, not to be released until long after the final word.

The only novel written by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights was originally published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and at first was thought to be the work of Emily's sister, Charlotte, the author of the classic Jane Eyre.

Wuthering Heights tells the tale of Heathcliff, a young orphaned gypsy boy, who is brought to the windswept moors of Yorkshire by Mr Earnshaw, the master of Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff's childhood there is riddled with bullying and humiliation, but the master's daughter, the precocious and untameable Cathy, becomes his ally, and a childhood fondness for one another grows to a great passion.

Following a misunderstanding, Heathcliff believes that Cathy has rejected him, and he leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return after three years have passed. When he returns, now mysteriously rich, he learns of Cathy's marriage to another and vows to focus his passionate nature on merciless revenge. Heathcliff's retribution proves so destructive that left in its wake are not only his enemies, but the very object of his obsession and, ultimately, himself.

Critic reviews

"Search no further. A masterful vocal talent has found a masterpiece of world literature to perform.... Kitchen's intoxicatingly rich voice is the perfect medium for Bronte's romantic lyricism.... His interpretation is so precise and intelligent.... Michael Kitchen has given a long-awaited voice to a timeless classic." (AudioFile)

I am enjoying this! Michael Kitchen reads this extremely well. It is not too dark and I found myself laughing at the black humour.
I too studied this for A level. I really didn't like it at the time and woke up after the exam in a cold sweat thinking, "Oh no, I've still got to read Wuthering Heights!". Kitchen makes this fun! Not too savage but capturing the story well.
Well worth it

What made the experience of listening to Wuthering Heights the most enjoyable?

I was really hoping to enjoy this book but after a promising start with good writing i found the characters to evolve to become unrealistic, unrelatable and uninteresting.

Has Wuthering Heights put you off other books in this genre?

Yes, as one of the 'classics' this book has made me more weary of reading many more

I first read this book in school, my English teacher seemed to make every character come alive. I was so pleased to find the reading on audible of the same magical quality.

Pages addictively brought to life by narrator.

I enjoyed the narrator his voice was lovely but to me it seemed to have missed a few chapters as I read this in school and certain paragraphs of dialogue was missing . Either that very good
