No Name
by Wilkie Collins
Accused of immorality by Victorian critics, but considered today a novel of extraordinary social understanding, No Name shows William Wilkey Collins at the pinnacle of his literary powers. This is the story of two sisters, Magdalene and Nora, who, after the death of their beloved parents, discover that their parents were not married at the time of their birth. Deprived of inheritance and expelled from their possessions, these people must stand up for themselves and either settle accounts with their fate or decide to return their wealth by any means.
