Sobre este item
This is a somewhat scarce American edition of Wilkie Collins' Poor Miss Finch, his sensation novel about a young blind woman who regains her sight but ends up in a bizarre love triangle between herself and twin brothers, one of whom has turned dark blue as a result of dosing silver nitrate. Collins dedicated this novel to his contemporary (and mutual friend of Charles Dickens), travelogue writer Francis Minto Elliot. B/w illustrations throughout. With a 4pp publisher's catalogue following the text.
Sinopse
