COLLINS, W.: Woman in White (The) (Abridged)
A dark and humid night on a London highway… a ghostly woman asking directions... and the reader is away on a tale of deceit, murder, madness, stolen identities and scheming cads, elaborate plots and outrageous coincidences, in the company of some of the most extraordinary characters in fiction.
Hailed as a classic the moment it was written in 1859, The Woman in White uses ten different narrators to tell the tale of a man's determination to save the woman he loves, in the face of the worst intentions of the sly Sir Percival Glyde and the magnificent Count Fosco.
