Trade Review
Our Mutual Friend made me want to be a writer -- Zoe Heller * Guardian *
Dickens wasn't just telling a story, but drawing a panoramic picture of his times, full of detail about the way the Victorians lived, loved and thought. Our Mutual Friend is superbly constructed - part social satire, part murder mystery, part love story. It is crowded with memorable characters: the aspirational Veneerings, the playboy lawyer Eugene Wrayburn, and the heroines: giddy-minded Bella Wilfur and saintly Lizzy Hexam * Independent *
Our Mutual Friend disturbs us to the root of our being...terribly great -- John Sutherland
Perhaps his greatest work. The great novel of London: dark, wise, unsentimental -- William Boyd * Newsweek *
Charles Dickens is the greatest novelist in the English language -- Peter Ackroyd
