Charles Dickens
Dombey and Son
Dombey and Son
Another great Dickens novel full of angst, comedy, treachery and social commentary. It's a long one following the life, relationships and of a city trader. I got through most whilst incapacitated with a virus for 5 days. Without a spoiler I'm not totally convinced by the ending and I feel that there is another which wouldn't've been as popular. The characters are as good as ever and I'm sure some are Dickens sending up real people. Must have been a nightmare being a friend or close acquaintance of him as I'm sure you'd be wondering if those particular traits are taken from yourself. Well worth a read.
