The Woman in White, published in 1859, is regarded as one of the first
and best, in the genre of mystery novels. Late one night, a young art
teacher, Walter Hartright, meets a strange woman dressed in white on a
lonely road. She seems to be connected to the Limmeridge family, whose
daughters he is going to teach. Walter's attempts to solve the mystery
of the woman leads him down a dangerous path of suspense, madness and
death.
