Veromika’s Notes & Highlights

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

1 note & 9 highlights

The facts here are really so extraordinary, that I doubt if I can trust my own language to do justice to them. I prefer trying to report Mr. Franklin’s discoveries, as nearly as may be, in Mr. Franklin’s own words.

I love the narration style in this. The effortless transfer of POV while keeping the narration with one character only Reminds me of Wuthering Heights or frankly the narration style of Luis in Ant-Man
