The Woman in White is set in the mid-19th century. It is a Victorian mystery that brings a plot which is full of atmospheric drama, and fascinating characters. It was considered the first of this genre at the time. Sir Percival Glyde, who is being hounded for money by the sinister Count Fosco, marries the heiress Laura Fairlie for her fortune. As events unfold, Glyde’s efforts to secure the money – and also to remove the threat to his reputation posed by the unfortunate Anne Catherick – become more desperate and cruel. Combined with this tale of disturbing intrigue are elements of romance and comedy: the resulting mix is headily entertaining.
