Wuthering Heights

De: Emily Brontë

Narrado por: Patricia Routledge

The passionate and tragic story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff is one of the high points of 19th-century Romantic literature. In the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, and in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors of its setting, Wuthering Heights creates a world of its own, conceived with a disregard for convention and an instinct for poetry and the darkest depths of the human soul in torment.

It wasn't what I expected, I'm so glad I listened!

What did you love best about Wuthering Heights?

The layers of generational issues and ending that I didn't see coming.

What did you like best about this story?

The way that the author used Ellen Dean to narrate the story and then the way that Mr. Lockwood narrated from his view and then the author handed the story back to Nellie for a wonderful finish. Made me realize that the 1800's and 2012 are not that different when it comes to family disfunction.

What does Patricia Routledge bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The passion she read with for some of the characters moved my emotions.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Oh yes!! I cried, I was spooked, I was horrified, I was angry and in the end I was pleased.

Any additional comments?

Sometimes I had a hard time understanding Joseph's accent.Fantastic book and I now understand why it is on the Classic Literature list.

Patricia Routledge got me through this one

I do enjoy the classics, but not generally these verbose gothic tales. Wuthering Heights was on my "I missed this one in school and it's on my list" listens. If it weren't for Patricia Routledge's outstanding narration, I doubt I would have finished it.

Classic gothic tale

I really liked the narrator, went through a few different ones to find the perfect one. She told the story perfectly and it made me enjoy the tale. Truly detestable characters.

Stunning Performance!

Patricia Routledge delivers a Tour de Force in her narration of Bronte's haunting classic. Mesmerizing.

Gifted Narrator

Routledge brought this classic story to life with her fantastic acting and perfect pacing. A performance deserving of an encore.
