Background
Originally published in 1859 by Charles Dickens, this book tells the fictional tale of people living in London and Paris through the French revolution and the “Reign of Terror” immediately following it.
My Thoughts
This was one of those books I hadn’t read since High School and I honestly didn’t remember it. What a terrible time to be alive! I’m so thankful I’m living in our modern world and in the United States!
The book was ok. I had some struggle getting through it as I wasn’t particularly engaged and there is a good deal of jumping around in the story from a variety of characters. This is one of those stories that do not really have a character with whom I would like or identify with. That made it hard to really want to get through it.
Recommendation
It is one of those books we all should read. However, that doesn’t mean you are going to like it.
