Hello everyone joining in the discussing of Peter Ackroyd's biography "Wilkie Collins - A Brief Life," and of course anybody who wants to read other bios or material on Collins is also welcome.

I thought we'd keep things simple, so I just divided this short bio into two parts and laid it out to coincide with our last few weeks of reading Armadale. So:

July 1-15, Chapters 1-10
July 16-31, Chapters 11-20

Happy reading!

Anytime, Pip :D

I forgot to mention that this bio is also available for request on NetGalley:

https://s2.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

If any of you are bloggers, reviewers, booksellers or librarians, then you can join NetGalley and request books (I mean in digital format) from publishers in advance. The only catch is that you're expected to review them (favourably or not) when you're done reading.
