Explications
WordMaven : It became a quest to finish this novel. Wilkie Collins never wrote a sentence he couldn't stretch to 4 times its natural length, and I hate him for it. Took me 9 months to finish this beast, and when I read the Big Reveal, all I could think was, "that's it? That's the big shocker?" Pardon my French but bitch, please.
