A review by harpirl
Armadale by Wilkie Collins, John Sutherland

4.0

Armadale is a gripping tale. A stolen inheritance, a stolen identity, and a malicious, manipulative woman are all mixed into the plot. There are about five people in here who bear the name of Armadale. Although, only two of them bear the name legally. The story itself mainly focuses upon the second generation of sons. The first generation, the fathers of these sons were guilty of a terrible crime. Throughout the whole novel, the likely known fate of these sons slowly unravels itself.

Collins takes you through the journey in a style I liked. Perhaps a bit predictable at times, especially since the book centers upon fate. Yet at the same time, the book has some good twists and turns throughout. I really enjoyed it. *4.5 stars*
