À propos de cet audio
Appearing in 1852, Basil was Wilkie Collins’s second published novel. The eponymous narrator is emotionally torn between two women: Margaret Sherwin and his sister Clara. His marriage to Margaret, a draper’s sexually precocious daughter, is to remain secret and unconsummated for the first year, as agreed with her father.
Anticipating Collins’s later sensation novels, the plot involves betrayal, insanity and death, with a thrilling conclusion set among the cliffs and whirlpools near Land’s End. The book was received with shock upon its publication, most especially due to its treatment of adultery.
Here Basil is read by the prolific and popular narrator Nicholas Boulton.

Not Wilkie’s greatest work
I’m a big fan of Wilkie Collins and this is the 7th book of his that I’ve read. I’ll also say it was my least favourite. The first half of the story moves particularly slowly, and I found it difficult to care about the characters because the plot was so slow and there was so little dialogue. Wilkie Collins writes beautiful, rich descriptions and the ending of this book is satisfying, but I thought his other books were more exciting and captivating.
