A delightful tale of thwarted ambition and forbidden love, A Rogue’s Life follows the fortunes of an endearing young man. Proffering his own take on picaresque storytelling—and with many a grain of truth for twenty-somethings today—this is Wilkie Collins at his entertaining best.

The author of The Woman in White and The Moonstone, Wilkie Collins is widely regarded as the originator of the detective novel. Less
