I do think that The Women in White is a masterpiece, but so many of his other books are so enjoyable because of that sensationalist roller coaster ride he does so well. :DRuthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-60764429122157183132020-02-17T20:16:14.885-05:002020-02-17T20:16:14.885-05:00I have been compiling list for my next Classics Cl...I have been compiling list for my next Classics Club, and have included Collins' major works like No Name and Basil.
