I love Wilkie Collins's stories. They plunge you into a whole different world and keep you wanting to know what happens next. At the same time, I have to admit this is not one of his best (there's an excellent version of the Moonstone read by Peter Jeffrey on Audible). There's still a lot to enjoy and Samuel West does a great job of keeping you going through the bits that are not so good. I'm left with a few very vivid portrayals and descriptions of places and a rather uneasy feeling towards the protagonist.

Uneven story, really well read

Collins explores his interest in mesmerism. We get a love story. Well told. a bit shmulzy for today's tastes but another good addition to the Collins' repertoire

Adventures in mesmerism

Another detailed historical romantic story by this brilliant author. Gives a lovely touch of two separated childhood souls following different lives with supernatural connections. Excellent story, highly recommended!

Romantic istorical delight

Beautifully narrated, an eerie tale with the supernatural effected throughout. Quite a long slow burn, but of course with the ending one always wished for.

A satisfying Victorian epic
