First published in 1872, Poor Miss Finch tells the story of Lucilla Finch, a young woman who is blind due to an accident. Lucilla lives with her devoted companion, Madame Pratolungo, and fiancé, Oscar Dubourg. However, experimental surgery offers Lucilla the possibility of regaining her sight. Over time a love triangle emerges between Lucilla, Oscar and Oscarâs identical twin, Nugent.
Poor Miss Finch is particularly compelling because of Collinsâs exploration of themes such as identity, perception and the consequences of societal expectations. The novel delves into the complexities of human relationships, shedding light on the limitations of superficial appearances. It masterfully weaves together mystery, romance and social commentary.
