The Legacy of Cain

"The Legacy of Cain" explores the age-old debate of nature versus nurture through a suspenseful, emotionally charged narrative. When a woman condemned for murder gives birth just before her execution, the question arises: has her child inherited her violent nature — the "legacy of Cain"?
Raised by a benevolent benefactress, the child grows up unaware of her origins. But fate and hidden truths begin to resurface, threatening her happiness and the peace of those around her. With psychological insight, moral tension, and Gothic undertones, Wilkie Collins spins a tale full of secrets, suspicion, and philosophical depth.
"The Legacy of Cain" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1891.
