Wuthering Heights (Adaptation)

Oxford Bookworms Library, Stage 5

By: Clare West - adaptation, Emily Brontë

Narrated by: Ishia Bennison

The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house.

An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Emily Bronté original by Clare West.

Critic reviews

"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of storytelling." (David R. Hill, ELT Journal Review)

Negative and depressing

The entire book was about mean people. It ended like it started. Not one likable character.
