A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (1997, Paperback, Reissue)

This is the tale of amazing honor and sacrifice. Two men, who by mere chance are identical in appearance, meet and fall in love with the same woman. One marries her, the other swears that he would do anything, even lay down his life, for the one whom he loved. The opportunity comes during the French Revolution--but will he keep his treacherous promise?

In typical Dickens fashion, he writes an extremely intricate plot with many sub-plots and extra, unexpected twists. His complex sentences can be difficult to decipher but are well worth the added effort! He conveys amazing emotions and concepts in his writing, making it enlightening and inspiring as well as exciting and enjoyable.

If you've enjoyed "Great Expectations," or "Oliver Twist," you're likely to become engrossed in "A Tale of Two Cities."

I had to read this gem for school and I was surprised that I actually enjoyed this novel. It was interesting in most parts but got a little boring in others....typical Dickens. Good Book for the French Revolution.

I bought this for a former student who wanted to finish reading it. He liked the gift. It was a part of a box of books made available to him.
