About the Book

After eighteen years of imprisonment in the Bastille, Dr Alexandre Manette is finally reunited with his daughter, Lucie, in London-beginning a quiet new life after years of suffering. Their world soon expands to include Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who has turned his back on his lineage, and Sydney Carton, a brilliant but disillusioned English lawyer who bears an uncanny resemblance to him. As tensions rise in France and revolution breaks out, the lives of these four become dangerously entangled across two cities. What follows is a story of love, loyalty, and difficult choices-set against a time when justice and vengeance are often indistinguishable.
