"THE WOMAN IN WHITE"? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh..."THE MOONSTONE" is a far better book. TWIW, is nothing more than one of the last "Gothic" novels, which had been done to death already. La Fanu's "THE WYVERN MYSTERY" has a similar theme and is far superior to "THE WOMAN IN WHITE".
But The Moonstone has never prompted an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical so how good can it really be?? :-) /sarc
