The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is a groundbreaking Victorian mystery and sensation novel. The story follows drawing teacher Walter Hartright, who meets a mysterious, distressed woman dressed entirely in white on the streets of London. Walter gives directions to a haunted woman in white on a moonlit London road before she vanishes. He takes a position as a drawing master in Cumberland to teach two young women: the intelligent Marian Halcombe and her wealthy, beautiful half-sister, Laura Fairlie. Walter falls for Laura, but discovers she strongly resembles the mysterious woman in white. Soon, Laura is forced to marry the secretive Sir Percival Glyde, who-with his charismatic but dangerous friend Count Fosco-hatches a sinister plot to steal her fortune and manipulate her identity.
