Pros
- This book took me forever to read - quite the slog - but as I finished the last page and closed the cover . . . I found I loved it!
- Other books I liked just for extra information even if they don’t fit this request: the woman in white, coraline, rebecca, jane eyre, the sound and the fury, the book of disquiet
- Such a great book. Very well written and shares the issues women faced at the time and the realities of what went on inside asylums.
- One of my favourite books! And yeah, Marian's character was awesome and very ahead of its time! Her sneaking around the rooftops etc isn't the kind of physically active role you expect to see women in Victorian novels to have. I was also...

One of my favourite books! And yeah, Marian's character was awesome and very ahead of its time! Her sneaking around the rooftops etc isn't the kind of physically active role you expect to see women in Victorian novels to have. I was also just surprised by how fast paced it was for a 600+ page novel, I actually didnt find it dragged at all!

It has been, by far, my favorite book she’s read so far! I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it was and how much I got attached to the characters, Marian is my literary hero!
I love this book so much!
With all things considered, The Woman In White wasn't a flawless work. I found the story to be less engaging during the last quarter and there were times when the plot kinda drugged. Additionally, I think that Laura's character was underutilized compared to others.
I discovered The Woman In White in my university's library. I read the blurb and I got intrigued so I decided to give it a try. I admit that based on the title and the blurb, I expected to read a spooky and mysterious story but what I got instead exceeded my initial expectations.
My recommendation would be The Woman in White though, the plot is a whole lot more engrossing.
