Chris McCristal ,

A claustrophobic novel.

First and foremost, 'The New Magdalen' has a radically different structure from the other Collins novels I've read. Part of the author's strengths is his use of rich language in describing scenery, characters, and motion. 'The New Magdalen' actually reads like a play. Nearly all of the 'action' takes place in a single drawing room. But 'The New Magdalen' is not a play, and reads instead like a claustrophobic novel. 'The New Magdalen' is a good play.
