Enter the Mysterious World of Dickens’ Bleak House

Jay puts his second Dickens novel on the list this week, Bleak House, published in 1853. The looooong book uses many characters, two narrative points of view and several suspenseful plots to keep the reader turning pages to travel deeper and deeper into early industrial England, in which cultures are clashing and litigants are fighting in a decades-long lawsuit in Dickens’ masterful social criticism that still remains a delight to read. Chaos Reader picks up a new novel for a trip she’s taking soon.
