“It was the best of tImes, It was the worst of times.”
A tale of two cities was described as “the best story I’ve ever written” by Charles Dickens. This classic piece tells the story of a group of people trying to survive during the French Revolution. While telling personal stories, the book also portrays the brutal social conditions of the period.
Constructing a story of a period of immense complexity through a family’s past, the author takes us to a breathtaking journey from quiet streets of London to the vengeful and bloody streets of Paris, a city where everyone must live under the shadow of La Guillotine.
