A very intricate and slow burn novel. Here Dickens is not in a hurry, and the spread out side characters are challenging to remember...the story's end was tragic and sad but then very tender and happy. Dickens manages to tell a mystery, and also a coa story, and a tragedy. I know this story contained nuances that I missed and I plan on reading it again, I do not blame Dickens style for this I think I needed a different approach. Read this book with other people, a buddy read, bookclub, take your time and you will get the most out of this winding work.
