The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
4.0
Okay, I've finished reading our "longest read of the year" book club book. Now, this baby can be born!
**********
One of my book clubs selected the classic Victorian novel "The Woman in White" as our January selection. "The Woman in White" is one of those classics someone (long forgotten who) recommended to me probably 15+ years ago, so I am glad that I finally got around to reading it. It definitely has the same "feel" as some of my favorite classics such as Rebecca, Jane Eyre, and Middlemarch and I can see why it is considered influential in the mystery and suspense genre. The book was filled with twists & turns and Victorian women whose lives were controlled/ruined at the hands of men.
