I started this one on a whim, deciding to follow the French revolutionary theme from Les Mis a bit farther. I'm glad I did! The only other Dickens I've read is Oliver Twist, which I really didn't like much at all. This was much more nuanced and interesting. It was also a lot more sympathetic to the motivation behind the revolution of 1789 than I expected coming from an 19th century British author.

No deep introspective analysis on this one, I'm afraid. I cried at the end, that was enough.
