Dickens' second historical novel, which he considered "the best story I have written," provides a highly-charged examination of human suffering and human sacrifice.

  • I had to read it for Lit class
    It was hard to dig into
    But in the end I loved Sydney Carton!

  • Although one of his shortest, this certainly cannot be said to be Dickens at his best. I think brevity and Sidney Carton's final speech are the only thing going for this entry into the Dickens canon. Try David Copperfield as a jumping off point for enjoying Dickens.
