About this listen
Poor Miss Finch by Wilkie Collins
Presented by The Online Stage
Madame Pratolungo is a close companion to Lucilla Finch, a young woman who has been blind since birth. Madame Pratolungo records the narrative of Lucilla's trials from falling in love with Oscar Duborg, her wealthy and shy neighbor, to ending up in a romantic entanglement between Oscar and his brother Nugent. When Lucilla temporarily regains her sight thanks to Herr Grosse, mistaken identities and manipulative schemes are there to greet her.

Different but enjoyable
I found this to be quite different in style to Wilkie Collins other books but I still really enjoyed it! Only complaint is the male actor of the main character and his occasional strange pronunciation, which I found a bit distracting/irritating (eg pronouncing 'marry' as 'merry') but that's just a minor, probably pedantic, point

Dubious medical practice and science but a good story
Silver nitrate may well give someone a blue discolouration although compared to much disfigurement it would be comparatively minor.
Does it really suppress epileptic fits? I doubt it.
As with so much 19th cent literature the book is verbose and unnecessarily long. For example, having established that the Revd Finch was a loquacious bore it was not necessary to write his endless diatribes verbatim each time he spoke.
The underlying tale was quite profound, she was happier being blind. Happiness is a very individual state of mind.
