Why read it?
1 author picked The Face in the Glass as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) may not be known by most contemporary readers...and that's a shame because her stories often include pointed observations about human nature that remain as relevant today as they were when first published.

From Lisa's list on collections of classic ghost stories.
