    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.

After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.
