Although the title of the book is The Woman in Black, the character herself does not appear a great deal but it is more about the reasons for her hauntings and the consequences from them. Susan Hill has managed to convey the desolate landscape that surrounds Eel Marsh House and add to the overall atmosphere of the book.

Whilst at the funeral he spots a woman, dressed in black who appears and disappears just as quickly. I was quite surprised to find that this was a short book of only 200 pages but in those pages the author manages to convey quite a lot.Īrthur Kipps is sent to Crythin Gifford to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow and sort through her papers to determine if there is anything of importance. ![]() ![]() I have wanted to read The Woman in Black for quite some time and finally decided to indulge myself and buy a copy and make some me time to read it. ![]()
