About the Book
Few literary figures are as unforgettable as Heathcliff — but his story has always held a mystery. In Emily Brontë’s original, Heathcliff flees heartbreak and humiliation … and returns three years later, a hardened, vengeful and very wealthy man.
So, what happened to Heathcliff during those years?
In Heathcliff: A Wuthering Heights Story, Gracie Oddie-James imagines the missing chapter behind one of literature’s most enigmatic figures.
Heathcliff arrives in 18th-century London, where he is pulled into a world of ambition, risk and romance, even as he searches for identity, belonging and purpose far from the moors he once called home. He begins to reshape his future — and question who he truly is.
Yet even in this new world, the pull of Catherine’s memory draws him back toward the darkness that will define him and the fate readers know all too well.
Brought to life through a cinematic, full-cast performance starring Daryl McCormack, this Audible Original delivers an immersive listening experience rich with emotion, atmosphere and complexity. Perfect for book clubs, Oddie-James’s bold reimagining invites meaningful discussion around identity, love, power and the forces that shape who we become.

About the Author
Gracie Oddie-James is a writer and actor impassioned by crafting incisive social commentary, particularly spotlighting people of colour.
Her focus is inspired by her experiences as a mixed-race woman, navigating a family dynamic spanning working-class first-generation immigrants to middle-class white Londoners, and an educational journey that moved through underfunded state schools to private school scholarships.
This converged in her debut play, F*CKING WHITE BOYS — performed at the McQueen’s, Duke of York and Soho Theatre. She is now developing this for TV.
During her time at Oxford studying History, Gracie reckoned with the wealth of histories that tutors refused to be told — histories that evidenced a nuanced and tangled national story. In writing these stories, she is keen to create work that promotes a new cultural relationship with Britain’s past, free from the structures of old academia.
Gracie has trained with The National Youth Theatre and Collage Voices and continues to be an ambassador for their work.

“Just as Wide Sargasso Sea added a new dimension to Jane Eyre, this new immersive listen shows us Heathcliff in an entirely new light.”
