    ...Literally Wuthering Heights - Book Readers React

    25/02/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    This week’s episode taught Magda and Lindsay a valuable lesson: a bad book can be made better by an even worse movie. That’s right, they’re discussing all things Wuthering Heights…and “Wuthering Heights.”

    Okay, okay. So even though they may not have loved everything about Emily Brontë’s sole work, they definitely agree it has depth and is, in its own right, revolutionary. The movie…well, that’s another story….literally.

    “Maryr!“ by Kaveh Akbar

    “Hope in the Dark“ by Rebecca Solnit

    “The Tattered Cover“ by Ellery Adams

    “Wuthering Heights“ by Emily Brontë
