"The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins begins with Walter Hartright, a drawing teacher, who encounters a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white on a late-night walk. This woman, appearing distressed and secretive, asks for his help to reach London. Walter agrees, only to later learn that she has escaped from an asylum. This encounter sets off a chain of events that intertwine Walter's life with the inhabitants of Limmeridge House, where he is to take up a new position as a drawing master. The narrative unfolds through multiple perspectives, including those of Walter, Marian Halcombe, and others, as they uncover a web of deceit and identity theft involving the woman in white, Anne Catherick, and her connection to the Fairlie family. The story explores themes of social justice, the fallibility of the legal system, and the resilience of the human spirit. As Walter and his allies strive to restore the truth and protect the innocent, they confront the sinister Sir Percival Glyde and the enigmatic Count Fosco, whose machinations threaten the lives and happiness of those involved. The novel is a pioneering work in the mystery and suspense genre, renowned for its intricate plot and vivid characterizations.
