Summary
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.

Brilliant!
Genius performed by a genius!
It is really quite amazing what a great actor can do for a story of this magnitude. Juliet Stevenson, a rare master of her craft, delivered an outstanding performance that brought each character to life. Characterisation, narrative and dialogue perfectly delineated and there is never any doubt as to who is speaking, male, female, accented. I was left with a sense of having lived with them. An amazing experience.
Obsession, revenge, manipulation and loss in epic proportions. The story is dark, powerful, tumultuous and at times profound. The reader is left to make up personal moral judgements between the destruction of two families that stretches over two generations. The rare literary genius is in the detail that usually falls victim to editing offers the reader a real treat. The author’s unique ability of creating unusual individuals, some of a sadistic nature, by depicting intricate characteristics and exaggerates them beyond what is normal makes this a drama more disturbing than any other. Emily Bronte was certainly beyond her years and time, mantling this book as one that should never be overlooked.

Juliet Stevenson
Juliet Stevenson has made what could easily have been tiresome into something beautiful.
I had read the book before or perhaps I should say endured it but was forced to give it another chance through an English course.
I begrudgingly worked my way through so many samples of the audiobook but as soon as I found her it was instantaneous purchase.

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

An enjoyable read read by a stellar narrator
I've tried reading Wuthering Heights three times before I got to this audiobook. But I'm glad this is the performance that led me to finish the book. Juliet Stevenson does a remarkable job with the characters and language.
