THE WOMAN IN WHITE

The Woman in White will be the next book discussed by the Friends of the West Point Library Book Club. This novel was first published in 1860, but is still a captivating mystery. The narrative style is interesting, switching from voice to voice, all first person. This is not the sort of mystery that leaves clues for the reader. Instead, I had to find out what was happening even as the story tellers did. I had my guesses, but not enough facts to guess at what was the true story behind Glyde and Fosco. It also addresses not only the evil in the men, but some unexpected good as well. Since most people are a mixture of the two, it makes the novel ring true and more poignant. This is a classic worth reading.

The group will meet Wednesday, August 5th at 7 PM.
