About this listen

When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow. The passionate relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling, Heathcliff, is a story of love, hate, pity, and retribution, the effects of which reverberate throughout the succeeding generations.

Critic reviews

"David Timson is excellent as Lockwood, the narrator, while Janet McTeer takes over as Nelly in the recounting of Catherin's tumultuous story. Perfect listening for a dark winter's night." ( Observer)

Even if their bitter and depressing like this one. 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte is a story of hate and vengance and vendictivenees and it plays a bit like 'Romeo and Julliet' if you think sense the two main characters love clearly can't work out (not giving anything away). The interseting thing is as horrible as Heathcliff is i think the worst character is Hindely Earnshaw, Heathcliff's older sadistic and vendictive brother who likes to humilated Heathcliff constantly through the first half of the novel that does not excuse Heathcliff for what he does but it does add an extra lair to his personailty.

I won't go into a plot but i will say don't expect any laughter or chears from this novel because you won't get any it's doom and gloom for basicly all of it oh and for a novel wrriten by one of the Bronte sisters it's not a romance actually it's more of a historical/horror/revenge tale (there's ghosts in it that's all i'll say)

Thanks for reading

Where does Wuthering Heights rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love the fact I'm being asked to rate Wuthering Heights alongside other audiobooks. Given the popularity on Audible of Jeffrey Archer and Russel Brand it is a difficult question to answer. Perhaps I'll just keep it simple and say that yes, Emily Bronte ranks favourably among these contemporary literary giants.

What other book might you compare Wuthering Heights to, and why?

Again Russel Brand A Revolution comes to mind in that the central characters in both works have little to recommend them and are actually quite hateful. You have no sympathy for any of those involved. In the case of Brand's work you don't even have sympathy for the readers!

Which scene did you most enjoy?

You have to say Kathy's ghost appearing to Lockwood. Cliche and obvious but brilliantly chilling, exciting and ambiguous in it's sense within the novel.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Give me 13 hours to sit and listen and I'll give it a darn good go.

It's me, Kathy

The narration is really good, believable accents & good pace. Glad I chose this reading. The story itself seemed duller than when I first read it 30 years ago, I suspect that's more to do with me being jaded than the book though. Still a must read book.

Great Narration

Janet McTeer's reading is, in my opinion, perfect for this novel. She is absolutely convincing as Nelly Dean and her accent just right. She also moves between different characters easily and captures their passions and highly wrought emotions superbly. David Timson is also just right for the out of place Lockwood and offers an excellent contrast to Janet McTeer's representation of Nelly et al.

Great novel, superbly read

This is an excellent narration of a great classic. Certainly the best version of Wuthering Hieghts in audio format that I've encountered.

An enjoyable narration
