On a moonlit road outside London, a young drawing teacher encounters a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white-an eerie meeting that draws him into a web of secrets, deception, and madness. The Woman in White is a masterfully woven tale of mistaken identity, wrongful imprisonment, and the quiet heroism of those determined to uncover the truth. Told through multiple narrators, the novel follows Walter Hartright, Marian Halcombe, and Laura Fairlie as they confront the sinister Sir Percival Glyde and the enigmatic Count Fosco. As the story unfolds, hidden pasts are revealed, legal injustices are challenged, and the line between sanity and manipulation blurs. This edition brings the suspenseful world of Victorian England to life with evocative black-and-white illustrations that capture the novel's most atmospheric settings-fog-draped gardens, candlelit corridors, and forgotten attics. Each image deepens the mood of the narrative, inviting readers to linger in its haunting beauty. Perfect for fans of Gothic fiction, psychological thrillers, and classic mysteries, The Woman in White remains a gripping exploration of power, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
