The Woman in White

[juliab]

I'm reading this right now. It is a classic that I've never read before and I'm finding the way the author tells the story from the perspective of several different main characters really interesting. I'm a few chapters in and the way he is setting the stage and creating a palpable sense of menace is chilling!

The Victorian novel?

[juliab]

Yes. They kept referring to it in The Thirteenth Tale as a great classic along with Jane Eyre and others. I'd never read it so I thought I'd try it. I'm enjoying it so far.

[Bara]

Yes. I had it. Lost it in the fire. Classic.

[ClaireLV]

You mean The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins? Yeah I love it.

[Bara]

Yes Claire - I thought that was the one Julia meant.

[juliab]

That's the one. I'm half way through now Can't put it down. Don't tell me what happens!

[Bara]

Welll, you see, HE says, then SHE says ...

[adcooper]

I like that book. Like Dickens, but a few ounces lighter (literally and figuratively! LOL!)

[juliab]

Ack - I fixed the title. I don't know where I got Lady instead of Woman. My brain is frying in the heat!

[Bara]

AND! You are due on the Hogwarts Express ...

[juliab]

I've finished Order of the Phoenix and have the next one to read. My daughter wants me to read them so I can speak intelligently on such weighty matters such as whether Harry should be with Cho, etc.

[Bara]

Perhaps you were thinking of 'The Lady in Red'? Just as much a classic, in its own way .. ;D I KNEW what you meant!
