Magdalen and Norah Vanstone have known only comfort and affluence for their entire lives. Orphaned suddenly following the unexpected deaths of their parents, the illegitimate sisters find themselves flung into the other extreme of living: their father had neglected to amend his will following their parents' recent marriage, leaving them with nothing, and their bitter, estranged uncle, the legal inheritor of the family fortune, mercilessly refuses them support.

They have no money, no rights and no name. Norah, the elder of the two, looks for work as a governess and accepts her fate. Fiery and headstrong Magdalen, however, does not. She vows revenge and schemes a series of traps to recover the fortune, no matter the cost....

I throughly enjoyed No Name, and probably more so than The Woman in White and the Moonstone - and I loved those novels. This story has more humour and less mystery than the other two books. The colourful characters are of Dickens standard and are performed superbly, particularly Captain Wragge and his wife - especially his wife! 😂 I highly recommend this audio book.

Entertaining story, brilliant characters, performed superbly!

The narrator for this wonderful book is nothing short of a genius. He shines an individual light on all the characters in such a way as to amaze and enchant. Wilkie Collins' writing is classical and complex but so eloquent and beautiful that it carries you along in it's tide, and is a work of art in itself. The story is clever with a few lessons in life to learn along the way. I haven't quite finished it yet but couldn't wait to write a review. I loved this book!

I cannot recommend this highly enough

I have a tear in my eye at the end of the novel. I will miss it, and the wonderful characters. I can see exactly why Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins were such good friends. They were both fabulous writers and story tellers. Each of their stories are full of wonderful characters, humour, excellent and clever plots that keep you listening to the end! I love Victorian Literature, so beautifully written. l loved Magdelan and Mrs Wragg!! she was so funny! the chapter with the omelette and when it ended up under the grate! Nicholas Boulton was so good at narrating this novel, the perfect voice to listen to, and fabulous voices for all of the characters! This is my second Wilkie Collins novel, I have also listened to The Woman in White, which was excellent. I highly recommend them both! Now for my next Wilkie Collins, The Law and The Lady!

Such A Clever And Wonderful Story!

after the moon stone and woman in white, I decided to give this a go.

it's pretty good, but you can see that it was originally serialized, and stretched out accordingly. I usually go for unabridged books, but a heavily edited version might be preferable in this case.

The central character gets rather irritating at times, but Collins keeps the story interesting.

looooooooong....
