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.

I'd forgotten just how unbelievable this was!
Juliet Stevenson's narration is so very good. Can't believe it's taken me 50 years to re-read it. Wow

What a difference time makes!
Firstly, Juliet Stevenson is one of the best narrators for voice-only performance. Simply brilliant. I bought it because she was reading it and I wondered what it would be like as an audio book as opposed to reading it. It was a compulsory text in school, but this time around I was amazed how bored I was with it. I found it interesting and compelling when reading as a young adult as an older adult, even with the brilliant narration at times I wanted it to be over. It's effectively a story of intergenerational stupidity and malicious violence. Hardly entertaining listening!

Bleak heart wrenching tale of love and betrayal
I struggled with this in the begining I feel the story is so dated and alien from today. But very pleased that I preserved and re-encounted this classic

Superb narration.
Juliet’s narration, as always, is so very skilled, the novel becomes more of a work of art than it already is. Thank you.

Emily Bronte would have enjoyed this narration of her novel
An incredible story, with each of the six narrators brought to life by Juliet Stevenson.

One of the best audio performances I've ever heard
I'm inclined to echo what the narratress said about reading this book - I don't feel like I've listened to Wuthering Heights; I feel like I've lived through it. And what an exhausting emotional journey that was. but worth it. She brings all the characters so vividly to life (and even makes Joseph's dialect intelligible).
