Armadale, Vol. 2

By Wilkie Collins and George Thomas

Book Overview

In Armadale, Vol. 2, the web of intrigue tightens as Lydia Gwilt-a seductive and dangerous woman-pursues her schemes against the unsuspecting Allan Armadale. Haunted by the sins of their fathers and entangled in a fate neither can escape, Allan and his namesake friend must confront the forces of manipulation and hidden guilt. Lydia's complex motives and shifting allegiances make her one of Victorian fiction's most compelling anti-heroines. With its layered narrative and themes of duplicity, madness, and moral ambiguity, this volume deepens the suspense of the story's first half. Collins blends sensation fiction with proto-detective elements to deliver a riveting portrait of identity, inheritance, and destiny.

William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English novelist and playwright, best known for The Woman in White, The Moonstone, and Armadale, semi-epistolary novel about two distant cousins both named Allan Armadale.
