It was OK. I recognise that for it's time it was good, sinister and a bit creepy but only if I sat and thought about the torment Jennet (the eponymous Woman in Black) had to go through. I feel my brain is just not made for classics or gothic horror as I tend to find both terribly dull.
For added interest, try reading this as a cautionary tale as to what happens when patriarchal systems of oppression get their way. What of the book would have come to pass if Jennet had not been cast out by her parents?
