Classic Literature

Finished March 27
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
This classic novel of the French Revolution centers on a doctor and his daughter. Dr Manette was held in the Bastille for years without a trial, and was a broken man when released. Rehabilitated by his daughter Lucie, he makes a new life in England. When Lucie falls for a young Frenchman, Charles Darnay, it would seem that Manette cannot escape his past. As the novel builds to its climax in Paris, the reader is drawn in completely to this world of revenge and renewal.
