It is like I am sitting in a comfortable chair by the fireside, feet up, sipping my wine and listening intently as he tells me a story. These days it would seem there are so many new books out there, the ones with buzz, that we all chase after and so we should.

There is nothing wrong with that. I just hope that along the way we do There can be no doubt, I love Wilkie Collins writing. I just hope that along the way we do not forget about the books of yesteryear. They are worthy of our time and energy and as an added bonus they can also quite frequently be found on sites like Amazon as a free download. And the rewards are huge. This is one such example. This is the story of Alan Armadale, however as the story opens there are exactly 5 people who bear that name. Will the real Allan Armadale please stand up.

Fortunately before you get too far into the story most of these men die or are killed off leaving only two. One of course is the real Allan Armadale and the other legally bears that name as result of a stipulation left in a will that allowed the family a good inheritance. The good news for the reader is that one of these Allans is living under the pseudonym of Ozias Midwinter. There are dark and diabolical family secrets here that one of the two Allan's does not want the other to learn of. And there is a rather substantial estate and inheritance at play. Enter the female lead and let me tell you Wilkie Collins sure knew how to write women.

I absolutely adored Marian Halcombe from The Woman in White and this time he sets his pen to write a deliciously dark,, deceitful and murderous villainess. Her name is Lydia Gwilt and she is a stunning beauty with a luxurious mane of long red hair. Also the kind that knows full well the effect she has on men and uses it to her advantage. She is evil and cold hearted while callously setting her plot to achieve her desire. God help anyone who gets in her way. She wants to become Mrs.

Allan Armadale thereby having access to all his money. It would suit her purpose even better if her husband was deceased and she inherited the same as his lawful widow. As much as I adored Marian Halcombe, I absolutely loathed this woman. Without question one of the most twisted and devious female villains I have ever read. Allan Armadale has a passion for sailing and convinces his new best friend Midwinter to join him on his small handcrafted yacht. While they are out to sea they are left adrift when their yacht becomes unmoored as they explore another abandoned ship wreck.

During this period of time Allan has a dream that he relates to Midwinter. As an appendix to this story Wilkie Collins shares an anecdote with reference to The Dream that figures largely in the narrative. In November of , almost a year and a half after he had finished sketching out this story a vessel lay in the Huskisson Dock at Liverpool which was looked after by one man who slept on board.

On a certain day within the week this man was found dead in the deck-house. The next day a second man had accepted the position and he too was carried dying to the Northern Hospital. On the third day a third ship keeper was found dead in the deck-house. The name of the ship was The Armadale and the inquest into the deaths revealed the cause of death as being suffocation due to poisoned air. If anything I was sorry to say goodby to these characters and turn the final page.

Shelves: favorites. I'm going to start this review with a seemingly random quote from The Simpsons. Milhouse, Bart's best friend, is listing the many mean pranks Bart has played on him over the years. One such prank involved lying to Milhouse after Bart's dog eats his goldfish. Bart tries to convince Milhouse that he never had a goldfish to begin with. To this, Milhouse replies, "But then why did I have the bowl, Bart?

Critics of the time protested that the character of Lydia Gwilt was unwomanly, unrealistic, and too wicked to be English. However, Collins took his accounts of the fictional Lydia's doings from real articles in newspapers of the time. Having said all this, the book kicks ass. There are five people in it named Allan Armadale.

One of those Allan Armadales goes by the alias of-- get this-- Ozias Midwinter. There is a sexy lady villain named Lydia Gwilt, who is a bigamist, murderer, and drug addict. There are prophetic dreams and cryptic warnings. If you want to put on your Intellectual Hat mine is a gray tweed fedora , there are "scathing indictments" of Victorian society and morals.

I can't think of anything else to say to make you read this book. Oct 15, Sean rated it it was amazing Shelves: mystery , read-in , victorian , 19th-century , gothic. Armadale is the 3rd novel I have read out of 4 major works of Wilkie Collins.

It is a semi-epistolary novel that is absolutely worth reading. The plot of the book introduces two distant cousins who both share a dark family secret that follows these two men into their adult lives. This family secret results in both men bearing the name of Allan Armadale. One of the Allans inherits an Armadale is the 3rd novel I have read out of 4 major works of Wilkie Collins.

One of the Allans inherits an estate in Norfolk and a conspiracy transpires to kill him and steal his family fortune. The other Allan, who goes by the alias of Ozias Midwinter, had hitherto lived a very difficult life and gets caught up in the conspiracy as well. This character is what makes this book so worthwhile. Her conspiracy is chronicled in her diary and she paints a picture of herself which is neurotic, selfish, and evil. In other words, a cold hearted bitch. As a result, I believe that Wilkie has successfully created one of the greatest villains of Victorian literature.

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. Something to look forward to! I found this book to be much faster-paced than those I've read of Dickens This is my first Collins. I found this book to be much faster-paced than those I've read of Dickens, and without the philosophizing that Dickens indulges in from time to time. Not that I don't love me some Dickens--his sarcasm and satirization of people and government and social organizations that have aroused his ire is flawless!

Armadale , however, moves along at a good clip, with plenty of suspense to keep you turning the pages. It is the Lombard Street of plots for you San Franciscans , with enough twists and turns to make you dizzy. Some of the characters are a little flat, but others are brilliantly developed. The book starts with more characters named Allan Armadale than I could keep track of, but fortunately, all of them die quickly, except for two--one of whom obligingly changes his name to Ozias Midwinter really--he chose that name! The one remaining Allan Armadale is pretty flat--he's like a big, goofy puppy from beginning to end--but Midwinter is more complex, with tortured depths that are not fully explained, even at the end.
