A review by philtessier
Les Misérables, II by Victor Hugo, Jean d'Ormesson

4.0

A work of unimaginable scale, Hugo's "Les Misérables" is many things: a history, a critique of social class, a family drama, a revenge tale, a redemption arc, and a love story. But above all else, it is - at its heart - a beautifully simple, human novel.
