Audio Book Summary

Emily Brontë's only novel, published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

Now considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared, with many horrified by the stark depictions of mental and physical cruelty. Though Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was originally considered the best of the Brontë sisters' works, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that its originality and achievement made it superior.

    Although I never understood Joseph, Ruth did a good job. It’s a classic known for being a bit dark, so there’s that. But I listened to the end and liked it.

    I am so bored with this book. I’m about half way through but I had to take a break for a couple weeks. I keep hoping something, anything of interest will happen but I am losing hope.

    I enjoyed listening to this story as read by Ms. Golding. When you consider when this was written and there was little to compare it to, you have to give Ms Bronte kudos. We are exposed to so much more now that this might seem ‘boring’ some, but what an imagination in 1847!!

    I thought as a classic this story would be more engaging. Definitely not so. It was okay but shows the ridiculous nuances of old England and the trappings of women and outrageous behavior of men.
