Poor Miss Finch

The young Lucilla Finch became blind in early childhood, which is why she is called "poor". In fact, she is quite a wealthy young woman and does not overly burden herself with her blindness. The absence of sight becomes a real plight only when Lucilla falls in love with a young man who has a twin brother. How many misunderstandings and sorrows could have been avoided if she could see! But even if medicine helps the girl conquer her blindness, it will not bring happiness. To be happy, Lucilla needs to gain sight in another way — by learning to see the truth. Such is the plot of the instructive and witty novel written by the classic of English literature Wilkie Collins (1824—1889).
