A review by thejourneyist
The Chimes by Charles Dickens

3.0

Deeply nuanced and filled with not so hidden social commentary for Dickens day. Social Justice themes of poverty and crime as well as social elites and their out of touch ideas that they are sure will address all these problems mixed with a bitter sweet tale of a poor man and his daughter and her fiance and throw in a creepy church and its bells and a wild ghost story making you wonder what the heck are you reading? Is it all a dream? I had to read many parts several times and I’m still not sure in”got it” lol but perhaps it’s supposed to be left open to each readers interpretation…
