Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Armadale
The novel has a convoluted plot about two distant cousins both named Allan Armadale. The father of one had murdered the father of the other (the two fathers are also named Allan Armadale). The story starts with a deathbed confession by the murderer in the form of a letter to be given to his baby son when he grows up. Many years are skipped over. The son, mistreated at home, runs away from his mother and stepfather, and takes up a wandering life under the assumed name of Ozias Midwinter.Itemize Books Supposing Armadale

To this, Milhouse replies, "But then why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL?"This quote illustrates the essential difficulty surrounding much of the
Armadale is one of Wilkie Collinss finest concoctionsup there, in my view (and, indeed, T.S.Eliots), with his more famous The Moonstone and The Woman in White. It is almost the perfect type of a Victorian sensation novel, mingling the Gothic-romantic (a family curse; shipwrecks; poison; prophetic dreams; a character called Ozias Midwinter) with a mid-nineteenth-century version of everyday metropolitan realism (hackney cabs; milliners; an early private detective agency; an upmarket Hampstead

This is my first Collins. I went into this with the knowledge that Collins had been bff's with Charles Dickens, and for some reason, I started reading with the expectation that Collins was a Dickens wannabe. I was pleased to find that this is not the case, and even more pleased to read in multiple reviews that Collins' other, more well-known novels are generally considered superior to this one.

It is not a full 5 stars only because it took me a while to get really invested in the story, and because there were a couple of parts which I didn't find all that interesting, but it was
