About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Aimee Lou Wood, star of Netflix's Sex Education. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Pauline Nestor.

Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: of the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and her betrayal of him. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.

Excellent. It's a long time since I read my paperback edition of this classic novel. The movie and TV versions, as far as I recall, generally eliminate the "next generations" part of the story. I somehow didn't remember accurately how high a percentage of the book was devoted to this. I love the Talking Classics abridged version, narrated by Hannah Gordon, and the next generation are included here, but that adaptation is only about 2 and a half hours long, so obviously, much is speeded up. Listening to this audiobook was very enjoyable, and not nearly as hard work as reading the physical novel.
