About this listen

The wild and passionate tale of Cathy and Heathcliff's impossible love for each other and its phenomenal setting on the blasted Yorkshire moors has to be one of the best-known love affairs in literature.

When it was first published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was greeted with a fair degree of outrage, not only for the open description of desire and disaster but for the almost unheard of method of telling the story using unreliable witnesses whose tales and points of view open out from each other, leaving the audience to piece together the truth of the story.

Only such novels as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had previously attempted to challenge the reader in this way, and it is only in the last century that the true genius of Emily Brontë's work has begun to be appreciated.

Prepare to be as swept up and buffeted by the extraordinary power of Brontë's storytelling as Cathy and Heathcliff are by the winds of Wuthering Heights.

Absolutely amazing. Loved it all, though what a harrowing story. Juliet captured the characters perfectly, and we really were engrossed in the narration.

Excellent Wuthering Heights narration

Hard to imagine a better narrator than Juliet Stevenson for Wuthering Heights. It was revelatory to hear it read in a range of Yorkshire accents. The rhythms and brutal poetry of this extraordinary book need those Northern vowels and consonants

A unique novel read brilliantly

Every character brought to life in this mesmerising story by Juliet Stevenson's skill and accuracy.

A Juliet Stevenson tour de force

Nelly Dean, Joseph, Lockwood and all were brought to marvellous life in this sympathetic and powerful reading. The language in the book is wonderful, and the underlying menace engendered by the setting and main protagonists is beautifully countered by the humour filled narrations.

Excellent performance of old favourite
