Wilkie Collins' 'I Say No' is a compelling novel that explores the themes of independence, identity, and societal constraints through the story of a young woman who defies societal norms by refusing a marriage proposal. Written in Collins' signature suspenseful and intricate literary style, the novel is set against the backdrop of Victorian England, showcasing the struggles faced by women in a male-dominated society. The narrative is filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping readers engaged and enthralled until the very end. Collins' use of vivid imagery and nuanced characters adds depth and complexity to the story, making it a standout in the genre of Victorian literature. Wilkie Collins, a contemporary of Charles Dickens, was known for his innovative storytelling and his exploration of social issues. His personal experiences and observations of the society around him undoubtedly shaped the themes and characters in 'I Say No'. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy thought-provoking novels that delve into the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations, as well as fans of Victorian literature looking for a captivating and insightful read.
William Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889) was an English novelist, playwright and short story writer. His best-known works are The Woman in White (1859), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868). The last is considered the first modern English detective novel. Born into the family of painter William Collins in London, he lived with his family in Italy and France as a child and learned French and Italian. After his first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850, he met Charles Dickens, who became a close friend, mentor and collaborator. Some of Collins's works were first published in Dickens' journals All the Year Round and Household Words and the two collaborated on drama and fiction. Collins was critical of the institution of marriage and never married; he split his time between Caroline Graves, except for a two-year separation, and his common-law wife Martha Rudd, with whom he had three children.
