This is a great book about the powerlessness of women in Great Britain, circa 1850, and how young Anne Silvester was finally able to overcome a looming hideous fate and triumph in the end. Equally as thrilling as "The Woman in White."... more

Wilkie Collins is one of the great underappreciated writers. His books have an immediacy and subtlety that seems fresh even today, even though his plots sometimes creak -- for example, see his novel "Armadale." As with Trollope, he had a very keen insight into human motivation and emotion, and is adept at descriptive writing. This little novel doesn't rise to that level, but is great fun, nonetheless... more

I really enjoy Wilkie Collins, and this book did not disappoint. My favorite of his is The Woman in White, but I this book is possibly my second favorite. It truly is a classic. There is a mystery to solve, and there is also a love triangle. But there isn't too much "schmaltz" or sweetness in my opinion. It's also a fast read, since it isn't a very long book with unnecessary details... more
