About this book

Madame Pratolungo brings a sharp tongue, musical training and strong republican convictions to her account of Lucilla Finch, a blind young woman in a remote part of England. This 1872 novel by Wilkie Collins places Lucilla among twin brothers, Oscar and Nugent Dubourg, and a surgeon whose work could alter her daily life. The narrator's lively opinions give the household tensions a distinctly personal voice.

As an operation approaches, Oscar hesitates to tell Lucilla the truth, while Madame Pratolungo presses him to speak. A doctor's warning that Lucilla must remain calm after treatment makes the timing of that conversation urgent. Affection, resentment and remorse turn a disagreement into a revealing study of character.
