Trade Review
The most popular novel of the 19th century, and still one of the best plots in English literature. Notable for its marvellous villains and, like all Collins's work, for its complex, spirited and believable female characters -- Sarah Waters
The various women of the book - in white and otherwise - are wonderfully real -- Elizabeth Kostova
To Mr Collins belongs the credit of having introduced into ficiton those most mysterious of mysteries, the mysteries which are at our own doors -- Henry James
The Woman in White...is a stay-up-all-night page-turner from 1859 that rivals any thriller written since -- Jennifer Egan, author of A VISIT FROM GOON SQUAD * Observer, *Summer Reads of 2023* *
