The Woman in White
On a moonlit London road, drawing master Walter Hartright meets a frightened woman dressed all in white, an encounter that pulls him into one of Victorian fiction’s most tangled conspiracies. Taking a teaching post at a country estate, he falls for his pupil Laura Fairlie, whose approaching marriage hides a scheme built on stolen identity, a locked asylum, and a fortune. Against the plot stand two of the era’s finest creations: the resourceful Marian Halcombe and the smiling, monstrous Count Fosco. Wilkie Collins told the story through overlapping testimonies, as if assembling a legal case, and in doing so helped invent the sensation novel and the modern mystery. This free PDF and EPUB edition presents the complete book.
