Our Mutual Friend
by Charles Dickens
Forget whatever you remember about not liking Dickens 20 years ago. This is the one to read. So funny, so savagely satirical about the wealthy, such varied, interesting, and alive characters. If this were a soap opera I would be its most loyal watcher. (Also, if this were a soap opera, there must be 5 season or more of material here.) Dickens has so many great lines in this book, you could make a whole normal-sized novel out of them.
Primarily a story about the problems of wealth and poverty — and in particular, the way the wealthy create the problems of the poor — Our Mutual Friend has more intertwining stories than it knows what to do with, but you will love many of the characters enough to remember them when the focus goes elsewhere for 50 pages.
