Little Dorrit

by Charles Dickens
- Rated 5 stars
“Another masterly Dickens novel. Love the description of early 19th century London: the debt prison and the horrid Circumlocution Office. Rigaud is a fantastic character in the vein of Fagin. The main love story is a bit dull, but everything around more than weighs up for it. Incredible.”
