The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism.

A true masterpiece.

This book is quite enjoyable. It contains a lot of masterly plot twists and once you start reading, it almost compels you to read on without stopping. Some this book is slow-paced, which is not completely true, in my humble opinion. Although the pace might be a bit slow in a certain way, the story keeps carrying you on and thus it can feel like a medium paced or even fast paced book.
