When it was first published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was considered highly controversial for its blunt portrayal of domestic abuse, alcoholism, and the dismissal of Christian values by some of its characters. Today, this gothic novel is considered one of the greatest in English literature.

Generational conflict persists between two families living on properties in a remote area of Yorkshire—the Earnshaws and the Lintons. When the sinister and powerful Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by the Earnshaws, develops a passionate attachment to his step-sister Catherine, she chooses instead (for practical reasons) to marry the mild-mannered Edgar Linton, despite her affections for Heathcliff. When Catherine dies after giving birth to a daughter, the naturally surly Heathcliff becomes deeply embittered. He plans his vengeance on members of both families who he believes have wronged him.

The action is narrated by Nelly Dean, who has spent a life in service to members of both families. A subsidiary narrator is Lockwood, a young man who becomes a tenant on Heathcliff’s property.

Of course this story is iconic and it stands the test of time. But the acting in this audio book is incredible. I found myself craving to listen to it. I still have no idea what Joseph says half the time but I don’t when I read it either. Came for the story revisit, stayed for the audio performance. (Flagging a few instances of violent moments toward women that did not age so well.)

One of the best audio acting performances ever
