Not his best but interesting
This is really for the aficionados - the story is rather strange and pivots on Swedenborgianism and the belief in twin souls. The plot is a bit silly. However, it's an interesting book as it gives an insight into Collin's thinking and placed in the context of 19th investigations into the occult and the supernatural the book is perhaps not quite so bizarre as modern readers might think it. I recommend it to anybody who is interested in Collins or in the more outré novels of the mid 19th century. It is quite unlike his two famous books The Moonstone and The Woman in White but you can certainly feel an echo of those two great works. Samuel West rivals his father as a superb reader and despite the rather weak story line, I was never board.

Wonderful narration
Samuel West captures Wilkie Collins and makes it a joy to listen to. Please give us more Collins.

An unusual and enjoyable story.
I've read a few by Wilkie Collins and have enjoyed them all. This story was unexpected (I didn't read the summary or reviews, only listened to the sample to make sure I could tolerate the narrator!). I loved the gentle pace combined with the wonderfully commanding yet soft narration. Classic escapism!

Uneven story, really well read
I love Wilkie Collins's stories. They plunge you into a whole different world and keep you wanting to know what happens next. At the same time, I have to admit this is not one of his best (there's an excellent version of the Moonstone read by Peter Jeffrey on Audible). There's still a lot to enjoy and Samuel West does a great job of keeping you going through the bits that are not so good. I'm left with a few very vivid portrayals and descriptions of places and a rather uneasy feeling towards the protagonist.

Quaint Love Story
Hopelessly romantic if a little overly dramatic at times. A lovely tale of destiny and beautifully narrated.

One of his best
I thought nothing could compare with The Moonstone,
but each of his novels seems sublime.
Beautifully preformed and a story which will stay with me.

Did not disappoint…
Wilkie Collins’s tales seem to take over me and guide me through the events and emotions like an invisible accomplice, and this one did not disappoint. Samuel West’s narration is thoroughly excellent.
