The Woman in White

Walter Hartright is a twenty‑eight‑year‑old drawing‑master navigating a lean summer in London. With finances thin and his health waning, he seeks refuge at his mother’s Hampstead cottage, only to be greeted by a sudden, startling encounter on the doorstep. A pale, bewildered woman in white collapses into his arms, her frantic whispers hinting at a desperate danger that drags Walter into a labyrinth of hidden identities.

What follows is told through a series of first‑hand accounts—friends, doctors, a skeptical solicitor—each adding a layer to the puzzle as the mystery escalates beyond a simple rescue. As the strands of love, betrayal, and legal intrigue intertwine, Walter’s steadfast patience and the resolve of those around him become the story’s engine. Listeners are drawn into a Victorian thriller where every testimony may illuminate—or obscure—the truth.
