Alone and desperate, Miranda must struggle to overcome her own prejudices and contempt if she is understand her captor and gain her freedom. Taught and utterly compelling, Fowles' debut novel The Collector was an instant bestseller when it was published in 1963. It is regarded as one of the best thrillers of all time with one of the most terrifying villains to have ever been created on the page. (c) John Fowles 1963 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

I couldn't keep this book in my house. It creeped me out too much. This book is sick and neither lead is very likable. Its bothersome that much of the story is repeated due the switched of view points between Francis and Miranda. This is a truly awful book about the evils of human nature.
