This title follows the story of a French Doctor who has just been released from an 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille. Doctor Manette flees Paris to join the daughter he's never met now living in London. Struggling to survive during the French Revolution and what became known as the Reign of Terror, Doctor Manette does all he can to avoid the guillotine while finding himself enmeshed in the dramas that have ensued around his daughter, Lucy Manette. The novel portrays what life was like before and during France and London's most trying political times. Charles Dickens writes profoundly on the struggle of the French peasantry, recounting their strife and fight against the aristocracy and the looming and ever potent wealth of the upper class.
