Collins’s final novel of sensation.
A woman of high moral principles marries a weak scoundrel. Gradually, her moral values become corrupted and eroded by the influence of her husband and his pernicious friends. How far will blind love go? Will it turn a blind eye to murder and fraud?
Wilkie Collins’s last work, finished by another.
(Serial publication 1889; first book publication 1890)
Collins had written the first 48 chapters before taking to his deathbed and asking Walter Besant to complete the novel, from extensive notes supplied by Collins.
