A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
Of all the classic books I’ve read so far, this is in my top three for certain. I also really enjoyed The Count of Monte Cristo and Don Quixote. This story is very engaging: the characters are life-like and well written, the plot keep ahold of you, and there is depth in the content that can be unpacked for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There are a few things I want to look into that I will maybe update this with when I learn: like what’s the deal with the numbered Jacques?
2nd read-through: discovered the reason of the Jacques - it was just a common used term when addressing someone, like ‘sir’ or ‘bud’. The first six chapters are so well written that I almost tear up when the Monet’a are reunited and that glimmer of hope is shown in Dr Monet that he might yet remember. Such good writing and story telling. Also all of the interesting allusions and foreshadowings with the wine cask and the lamplighters.
