Summary

Walter Hartright, a drawing teacher to two sisters, wants to marry Laura, though she is betrothed to another. But who is the mysterious woman in white he encounters?

Wilkie Collins was a master of suspense, but his transfer to audiobook requires a cast of readers to faithfully reflect the11 different characters who tell the story. Naxos AudioBooks brings together a strong cast to bring alive the mystery and suspense of The Woman in White.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Collins's mid-Victorian novel is one of the first, and possibly still the greatest, of all literary thrillers." ( The Irish Times)
All stars
Most relevant
This has been a favourite read for many years,I love the structure and the different narrators throughout and this has been faithfully re-created in this audio version. I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good story, plenty of intrigue and drama whilst remaining very much of its time.

Would you listen to The Woman in White again? Why?

I would happily listen to The Woman in White again - the story is delightfully convoluted and Gothic.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Woman in White?

I listened while carrying out some exhausting tasks on the allotment. The audiobook was a brilliant anaesthetic - I couldn't have worked so hard or so long if the story hadn't taken me to a different world.

Have you listened to any of Glen McCready and Rachel Bavidge ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

The two readers were previously unknown to me. I loved the way each one conjured up a range of distinct characters.

Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. The suspense is built throughout the book and it is really hard to leave and do something else.

Full of suspense

I love this book and this is a great version of it. The abridged dramatizations never quite make sense, but here you get the full story. I'm not sure about the voice for Marion, but other than that it works really well (Fosco is fantastic). I listened to this on the commute to and from work and I'll miss it now it's finished!
