Winner of Audible's 2017 Narrator of the Year Award
In an Audible Exclusive production, Golden Globe winner Joanne Froggatt gives a powerhouse performance of Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's only published novel. This edition features an exclusive introduction written by Ann Dinsdale, Chief Curator of the Brontë Museum.
About the book
The unapologetic intensity with which Emily Brontë wrote this story ensures that it will forever be considered one of the greatest works of English literature. A passionate tale of a chaotic and often violent love, Wuthering Heights transcends your average romance and, with its Gothic undertones, takes the listener on a journey through one man's lustful hunt for revenge.
Believing he has been spurned by Cathy Earnshaw, the only woman he has ever loved, Heathcliff abandons the wild moors of Wuthering Heights, fervently wishing to reestablish himself as the wealthy gentleman he believes Cathy seeks. Having been successful in his ventures, he later returns to the adoptive family who raised him and hungrily seeks to punish those who once rejected him.
In an exclusive introduction written for this edition by Ann Dinsdale, Chief Curator of the Bronte Museum, discover how critical and public opinion of Wuthering Heights has changed over time.
About the author
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Emily is said to have had the most unusual character of all the Brontë sisters. A reserved character with few close acquaintances outside her family circle, Emily's dark and passionate nature is clearly reflected in her tale. Having been the consummate lover of animals and nature, in this book she also set out to paint an unforgettable picture of the stark and imposing moors that she so enjoyed walking along.
Having developed a highly intelligent writing style, Emily ensures that the listener is emotionally involved throughout and often even a little horrified at the events that take place. A true work of art, Wuthering Heights surpasses expectation with its Gothic love scenes and desolate landscapes. Emily Brontë's only published work, it stands alone and will forever imprint itself upon the listener's memory.

I knew Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey, where she plays the gentle and kind-hearted Anna, so I expected a lovely reading. What I didn't expect was the astonishing range she brings to this novel. She captures every ounce of the darkness, cruelty, longing, obsession, and heartbreak in Wuthering Heights so completely that I often forgot I was listening to a single narrator.
Her character voices are absolutely phenomenal. Every person feels distinct, and even the male voices are so convincing that I caught myself forgetting they were all being performed by one woman. She disappears into the story in a way that very few narrators ever do.
There were moments when she genuinely gave me chills. She doesn't just read the book—she performs it with such emotional depth that the characters feel startlingly real. Heathcliff's intensity, Catherine's passion, the bitterness, the tenderness... every emotion is delivered with incredible authenticity.
If you're trying to decide which version of Wuthering Heights to buy, choose this one. Joanne Froggatt's narration transformed an already brilliant novel into one of the most immersive audiobook experiences I've ever had. I can't recommend it highly enough.
