The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
5.0
Lovvveeeed it
Couldn’t put it down & read in every moment of my spare time. Made me gasp, laugh, and eek out loud multiple times. Always a sucker for a satisfying ending too. 12 year old me would’ve made Marian my personal hero (23 year old me does too). & I was so happy Pesca returned to the story!!!
I was doubtful at first but ended up really enjoying the multiple narratives. The Count writing in Marian’s diary made my jaw drop!
Agree that the last 100 pages were fairly rushed, but not sure which parts I would cut to make more room. To be honest, I’d have read another 600 and not got bored. Also agree that Marian could’ve had more of a role in the final third of the book, especially in bringing Fosco down, which might bring my review down to 4.5 once the post book satisfaction has settled.
