The Woman in White

Drawing master Walter Hartright meets a terrified woman dressed in white on a moonlit road and soon discovers that she is connected to the household where he has been hired to teach. His growing love for Laura Fairlie is threatened by her arranged marriage to Sir Percival Glyde and by the schemes of the charismatic Count Fosco. Told through multiple witnesses, the novel combines conspiracy, wrongful confinement, identity and inheritance in one of Victorian fiction’s defining sensation plots.
