It was today, July 30th in 1818 that
Emily Brontë was born in Thornton near Bradford, England.
She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children. In 1824, the family moved to Haworth, where Emily's father was a curate, and it was in these surroundings that their literary leanings flourished. In childhood, after the death of their mother, the three sisters and their brother Patrick Branwell Brontë created imaginary lands, which were featured in stories they wrote. Sadly, little of Emily's work from this period survived.
She is now best remembered for her only novel
Wuthering Heights and although it received mixed reviews when it first came out, the book subsequently became an English literary classic.
At Silksoundbooks, we were delighted to have
Juliet Stevenson, who will be forever remembered for her leading role in the film
Truly, Madly, Deeply read this wonderful classic book.
Juliet's passionate and moving audiobook of
Wuthering Heights is available to download only from silksoundbooks.com
