Wuthering Heights

Published in 1847, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights explores the intense and often tumultuous relationships between two families—the Earnshaws and the Lintons—against the backdrop of the moody West Yorkshire moors. Central to the story is Heathcliff, the Earnshaws' foster son, whose complex character drives much of the narrative. Though now celebrated as a literary classic, the novel initially sparked controversy for its raw depictions of cruelty and its challenges to the moral standards of the Victorian era. The audiobook is narrated by Michael Ward.
