The Woman in White
Synopsis
Mr Hartright brings with him the tale of a mysterious encounter on the road with a ghostly figure: a woman dressed all in white. Great fans of Gothic tales, Laura and Marian are intrigued by this. When they spy this same woman themselves, wandering in the grounds of their home, Limmeridge House, late at night, they determine to find out all they can about her. But before much is learned, their idyllic summer is cut short by their friend Mr Hartright being forced to leave them in disgrace, and Laura's marriage to Sir Percival Clyde removing them from their home to the distant Blackwater Park.
Once there, the unhappy story of the woman in white unfolds, drawing the women into a vortex of secrets, crime and passion - and into a treacherous involvement with the fascinating but sinister Count Fosco.

Surrounded by prisoners, murderers and common thieves, Margaret feels herself drawn to one of the prison's more unlikely inmates – the imprisoned spiritualist Selina Dawes who weaves an enigmatic spell. Is she a fraud, or a prodigy?
