That was SO SATISFYING. My favorite part was the middle (Marian's narration) but I was not disappointed with the rest. I love that a book written in 1860, which gives so much time to make tropes stale and old, still managed to pull off so many genuine gasp-out-loud moments and startling twists.
Marian is still the best. All else is spoilery.

Which Wilkie Collins book shall I read next?
Do any of them have good audio versions?
Are there any good filmed adaptations of The Woman in White?
The Woman in White (Penguin Classics)
