Jezebel's Daughter by Wilkie Collins
4.0
I've been meaning to read more from Wilkie Collins, having loved his two most famous novels. Jezebel's Daughter only came to my notice when it was published by Oxford Press last year. Once more, we are offered a sensational tale featuring a fascinating 'baddie' in the character of Madame Fontaine, and as always the author portays her with redeeming features and with motivations that make sense.
Opposing this mistress of poisons, we have the righteous Mrs. Wagner, fighting to carry on her late husbands ideology, cutting a place in the workplace for women! Yes, the focus is on the plot, with all its thrilling moments, but I enjoyed it, especially the subversive vein of feminism Collins often adds.
