This 1915 book is well regarded as a modern novel. I found the narration to be confusing, but I think that was deliberate, meaning that the narrator wanted to confuse us.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I gave Wilkie Collins a try - loved The Woman in White.
ReplyDeleteI switched which books I was done for the categories so please delete my view of War of the Worlds (which actually ended up in there twice for some reason) but keep my review of The Picture of Dorian Gray (the last one I entered). Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteJust posted my review of Uncle Silas. I was expecting something like The Woman In White, but it didn't quite live up to that. But it was quite fun to read!
ReplyDeleteI read my first Emile Zola for this challenge, Therese Raquin. I think I'm hooked, looking forward to exploring more of his works.
ReplyDeleteOops, I posted twice for A Streetcar Named Desire. You could delete #22. I can't figure out how to delete it.
ReplyDeleteI switched which books I was doing again... ignore my first one (Picture of Dorian Gray) and keep the second one (War of the Worlds). Thank you so much and sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to post my link to Little Women :) - Maggie @ macarons & paperbacks (formerly "An American in France")
ReplyDeleteFinished my required classics! Only a couple more to go!
ReplyDeleteI swapped my categories for two of the books in my list, so I'm using The Warden for my 19th Century slot.
