Catherine Peters delves into the intricate life of Wilkie Collins, a prominent Victorian novelist known for his works like The Woman in White and The Moonstone.

His unconventional lifestyle, supporting two common-law wives and their children, defied the era's social norms and reflected the darker aspects of Victorian society. Peters illuminates the contrasts between Collins' public persona and his tumultuous inner world.
