I’ve just finished reading Wilkie Collins’ THE WOMAN IN WHITE. I suppose the time will come when I’ll stop singing the title to this tune, which I invite you to enjoy, if you have 10 minutes to spare. It has Edward Everett Horton in it, so that’s a plus.
I posted about one disappointment in the book at Fatal Foodies today. The other, I can only hint at, in case you would like to read the book yourself, which you can do free from Project Gutenberg. I can only say that one of the main characters is named Marian. And now I’m wondering if that’s where the name got into the family.
WRITING PROJECT: What’s the story behind your name? Your main character and/or villain’s name?

This must be pre-code.
Though I did like The Lady in White. Many’s the year ago.

I came across your blog after signing up for the A-Z Challenge and am now a follower.
In January, I posted an article on my blog entitled What’s In A Name, which explains my protagonist’s name (I am self-publishing my first novel.)
If you’re interested, this is the link to the post:

P.S. My sister’s name is Marian.
