Book Reviews of The Woman in White (The Penguin English Library)

Book Review: YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THIS BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars

OK I admit, I sometimes think of books referred to as "classics" as potential borers. But, I have to say in this case, Wilkie Collins created a masterpiece which carries you away to another time and place. I literally did not put this book down for hours (I had to sleep) and picked it up again the next morning to continue reading w. fervor. It was a compelling, haunting tale of deception, mystery, love and betrayal. I was in love with the hero and heroine both

Summary of The Woman in White (The Penguin English Library)

Like few novels before it, The Woman in White thrilled readers across England when it debuted in 1860. It famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit road. Engaged as a drawing-master to beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his charming friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons, and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian "sensation" novels, a phenomenon explored in detail in Matthew Sweet's new Introduction. This edition contains three appendices, which include a synopsis of the play Collins produced of his novel and its reception, as well as an account of the novel's composition.
