Why the male narrator?

So this is worth listening to and the narrator did a good job. I just don’t understand why they picked a male narrator for two books who have female protagonists. Jane Eyre especially. Wuthering Heights - even though most of the action is told through the perspective of a female housekeeper - has a male perspective at least. I don’t know. It out me off a bit. That said, the narrator is fine as far as conveying the characters.

Lovely story with enjoyable narration

I love that this audiobook combines two books in one. It gives you over 30 hours of listening, all of which is engaging and fascinating. Despite never having read either of these stories, I could not have picked a better book to listen to as an audiobook. The imagery in this collection is one of the best aspects of the collections. Considering that these stories are about Victorian society, I thought the authors really captured that time while keeping the reader engaged throughout the story. It was easy to follow each character’s storyline and set the stage as the narrator moved through the story. This audiobook is great for readers looking to learn about these classical pieces of literature but needing assistance moving through them. Also, the author did an excellent job capturing different perspectives of women and their various roles during the time.

The narrator’s voice is very soft and enjoyable and pairs well with the storyline. The author has a bit of an English/British accent, which captures the style and language of the time. That said, it was a bit odd that a book about a woman was narrated by a man. Regardless, the narrator and his narration were wonderful! Lastly, the narrator beautifully captured the emotions, whether the character was speaking or merely in their heads. I could easily follow who was speaking, what they were thinking, and how they perceived their interactions with other characters. Overall, well worth the listen, especially for students listening for an English class!

Brilliant Voice Artist

Stunning voice artist, enlivening every memorable character. The Bronte sisters’ classics haven’t been this alive in decades.

GREAT COLLECTION!

I love the classics! I read this book in school so it was nice to revisit it with audio this time! The narration was great and kept me entertained! It was great getting both of these stories in one book! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
