A Tale of Two Cities

About this book

Set against the upheaval of the French Revolution, Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities follows lives tangled between London and Paris as social injustice, political fury, and private loyalties push toward a tense and unpredictable turning point. Through a small cast—a driven young woman, a man haunted by his past, and a brilliant but disenchanted advocate—Dickens explores love, revenge, fate, and the redemptive possibility of moral rebirth with both sweeping historical scope and intimate human detail. Lyrical and suspenseful, this classic probes how far people will go to protect what matters when history itself seems to be tearing everything apart.
