Book Description:
Come to the wild and desolate moors surrounding Wuthering Heights in this exclusive BBC Radio dramatization which captures all the brooding intensity of Emily Bronte's literary masterpiece with a full, rich cast and an original and deeply moving musical score.

The only novel written by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights was originally published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and at first was thought to be the work of Emily's sister, Charlotte the author of the classic, Jane Eyre. Wuthering Heights tells the tale of Heathcliff, a young orphaned gypsy boy, who is brought to the windswept moors of Yorkshire by Mr. Earnshaw, the master of Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff's childhood there is riddled with bullying and humiliation, but the master's daughter, the precocious and untameable Cathy, becomes his ally -- and a childhood fondness for one another grows to a great passion.

Following a misunderstanding, Heathcliff believes that Cathy has rejected him, and leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return after three years have passed. When he returns, now mysteriously rich, he learns of Cathy's marriage to another, and vows to focus his passionate nature on merciless revenge. Heathcliff's retribution proves so destructive, that left in its wake are not only his enemies, but the very object of his obsession -- and ultimately, himself.
