The Woman in White - Review

I had never heard of The Woman in White before reading The Thirteenth Tale, which made references to it, but I am SO glad that the name stuck with me.

It was beautifully, poetically, and artiscally written. I will admit that at times, passages got away from me because they were almost overwhelmingly lengthy, but they were worth re-reading.

The Woman in White is a classic classic. There is a class struggle or clash which parts two of the protagonists despite their obvious love for one another. There is a marriage of convenience and deeply buried secrets that have moral and financial implications. There is an over-arching battle between good and evil and an even fiercer battle of wits that culminates in justice for all.

I do not want to get into specifics because if you have the patience to read it, you will want to unravel the mysteries little by little as the writer intended.

LOVED IT.

I forgot to mention that the story is told by multiple narrators. What a clever way to familiarize the reader with the different characters and their thought processes! It also allows the reader to compare the biased story-telling and ascertain for themselves who is being truthful, who is being naive, and who is being manipulative.
