In this captivating audio adaptation, the Sex Education and The White Lotus star brings a modern sensibility to the iconic novel, imbuing it with a fresh vitality that will captivate even the most devoted fans of the Brontës.
As Mr Lockwood, the new tenant at Thrushcross Grange, Wood masterfully conveys his growing unease and fascination with the enigmatic Heathcliff, who becomes increasingly reclusive in the face of tragic events.

The production is meticulous, with Wood's delivery perfectly capturing the novel's atmospheric setting in Yorkshire. The 13-hour 58-minute runtime may seem daunting, but Wood's engaging narration makes each hour fly by, drawing listeners into the world of Wuthering Heights with ease.
While there have been several audio adaptations of 'Wuthering Heights' in the past, Aimee Lou Wood's version stands out for its nuanced and empathetic performance.

Aimee Lou Wood's narration as Mr Lockwood is genius - she makes me wanna binge-listen to it ASAP 
. I'm intrigued by her take on Catherine and Heathcliff's tumultuous relationship... does she bring a modern spin that makes the classic characters feel fresh again? 
And 13 hours 58 minutes is a big commitment, but if Wood's narration is engaging like you say, it might just fly by 
. Can't wait to dive in and see how it compares to other adaptations

... no wait, what was I saying? I mean, it's not bad or anything, but it's still got 13 hours and 58 minutes of listening to Wood's narration going on, which is just a huge commitment

and I'm totally hooked!

her voice is like a map that leads you through the Yorkshire moors 
. I love how she doesn't shy away from the darker themes either 
. 13 hours might seem daunting, but trust me, it's worth it 
. I'm not even a huge Brontë fan, but this adaptation has made me want to dive into her other works
