The Dead Secret by Wilkie Collins is a Victorian sensation novel centered on a long-hidden family secret. The story begins in a remote Cornish house, Porthgenna Tower, where a dying woman hides a letter revealing a shocking truth about her mistress’s past. Years later, the new owners, Leonard and Rosamond Frankland, unwittingly move into the house. Rosamond becomes determined to uncover the mystery hinted at by the house’s servants. The truth, when revealed, concerns her own parentage and social standing, challenging Victorian ideas about class, legitimacy, and identity. The novel blends mystery, romance, and gothic atmosphere while exploring how truth can both wound and heal
