Dickens' Women by Sonia Fraser, Miriam Margolyes
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.25
No doubt these two women gave excellent performances and Dickens read out loud is always a treat. There is a pleasing selection here of the women Dickens created. Yet I learnt very little from this that I did not already know from a reading of the primary resources and various biographies of the great writer. There is a missed opportunity here; there is room to delve deeper into the women that surrounded Dickens - bot the ones he created and the one who were part of his own life.
