Synopsis
Three of Collins's greatest works. In THE WOMAN IN WHITE, Walter Hartright, a drawing instructor, comes to Limmeridge House to teach Laura and Marion Halcombe. He falls in love with Laura, but she is betrothed to someone else, and he must therefore leave Limmeridge. Before he goes, he tells Marian about his encounter with a beautiful woman dressed entirely in white, whom he later discovers escaped from an insane asylum. Here the mystery begins: Who is the woman in white? And is she truly insane? In THE MOONSTONE, Franklin Blake is in love with Rachel Verinder. The gem he gives her, the moonstone, disappears, and the police cannot solve the crime. Eventually, Rachel spurns Franklin, and he goes abroad in an attempt to forget her and recover. When Franklin's father dies and Franklin returns to England, he resolves to win her back by solving the mystery of the moonstone. For many years, it was believed that Collins wrote this powerful and influential novel while under the influence of laudanum, but that myth has been largely debunked.
