Description
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.
Many people who read WUTHERING HEIGHTS are captivated by the core story--Cathy and Heathcliff's experience on the moors. This is as it should be, but the intensity of Bront‘'s story allows people to forget its careful construction. This recording should help correct that. The first chapters are told by Mr. Lockwood; David Timson's delivery brings out his emotionally distant nature. However, Janet McTeer's performance of the book's later chapters brings the book fully to life. She captures different accents for each character. These accents not only distinguish characters immediately, but also show Bront‘'s awareness of class and geographical variation in England. Further, McTeer's sections throb with the passions appropriate to this classic. G.T.B. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
