Amazing as usual from Dickens. This was a mammoth read, both in terms of content and length. The plot is very detailed with twists and turns and honestly moments I had to re-read to ensure I knew what was going on. But at the end of it all it is a heartwarming tale of Londoners trying to maintain friendships and love in trying financial times, with financial overlords playing them like pawns...quite relevant as ever. Very interesting reading about the life in a Debtors prison though and. Definitely illuminating of Dickens own views on the government and financial crooks.
"When he saw how pleasure brought a rosy tint into Dorrits face when Maggy made a hit, he felt that he could have stood there making a liberty of the grocers window until the rain and the wind were tired."
..."if the grave could only have been made compatible with the tobacco business and father and mothers feelings!"
