John Simopoulos is back today with another in our occasional series of Books That Matter to propose that you spend a little time with “No Name” by English novelist, playwright, and author – Wilkie Collins. Written in the early 1860s, between “The Woman in White” and “The Moonstone”, “No Name” was rejected as immoral by critics of its time; but is today regarded as a novel of outstanding social insight, showing Wilkie Collins at the height of his powers. “One of the best books written in the 19th century”, says John.

The moonstone was dramatized on Radio 4 eons ago when I was at that age when you’re looking for something more adult to read and it was one of the things that got me hooked into reading. I shall give No Name a go. .
I cheated and used LibrVox. Good book
