In the quiet countryside, where a dark river moves without hurry, Gerard Roylake returns to the place of his childhood. Yet the world he steps into no longer feels familiar. At the old mill lives Cristel, the miller’s daughter, and with her a lodger whose beauty, suffering, and silent desperation create a presence that cannot be ignored.
The lodger has lost his hearing, and with it, his place among others. What remains in him is an intense and consuming love for Cristel, a love that has turned into torment. When Gerard appears, a fragile balance shatters. Desire, jealousy, and loneliness begin to shape every encounter, and the river seems to watch it all in stillness.

The Guilty River is a story of hearts in conflict. It reveals how longing can wound, how silence can speak louder than words, and how love can lead us toward both ruin and understanding. In these pages, Wilkie Collins offers a quiet, powerful reflection on what it means to need someone and to be needed in return.
