The complex story of a notorious lawsuit in which love and inheritance are set against the classic urban background of 19th-century London, where fog on the river, seeping into the very bones of the characters, symbolizes the corruption of the legal system and the society which supports it.
Charles Dickens’s epic tale following the different legal parties in a Chancery lawsuit, taken from Dickens’s own childhood experiences of being sent to work in a factory while his father was in a debtors’ prison, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line.
