Wuthering Heights

De: Emily Brontë

Narrado por: Freda Dowie, Ken Drury

When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow. The passionate relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling, Heathcliff, is a story of love, hate, pity and retribution, the effects of which reverberate throughout the succeeding generations.

Good rendering of the story but lacking atmosphere

Freda Dowie and Ken Drury do a good job in depicting the story and bringing the human characters to life. However, one very important, if not the most important character in this novel, has been almost written out of this abridged version and given little attention by the narrators. This character is the setting. After my initial disappointment, I did enjoy listening to this audio book, but I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it had a distinctly North Yorkshire character.
