Wuthering Nights: An Erotic Retelling of Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte and I.J. Miller, read by Joy Pratt. AudioGO, unabridged, eight CDs, 12.25 hrs., $34.98 ISBN 978-1-4789-5212-1

This isn’t quite the beloved Bronte classic you read in high school English class. But it’s not a bad retelling of it either—that is, if you don’t mind adding a healthy dose of erotica. In Miller’s version, the relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff becomes more elicit and a much more sexy. Narrator Joy Pratt brings a distinct femininity to the book, her accented voice ably capturing the spirit of the prose. Pratt’s delivery is flawless; her tone and pronunciation perfect. And, she manages to convey both the newer material and the original text in a similar manner. A Grand Central paperback. (July)
