So glad this one won as I have this as a penguin cloth bound book. will be the next book I start. yay
I have started this wee beastie. No nothing about it to be honest. Looking forward to reading Dickens's version of the French Revolution.

and it got 5 stars. nice.
5 stars from me. This book is excellent.I think this is one of Dickens books that is easy to read, being historical fiction and set during the French Revolution makes this an interesting read. Great cast of characters with some nice plot twists too.
My copy was one of the Penguin Clothbound books and it is such a nice copy that it could have biased my opinion of the story . :-)
oh yes, nice editions make the book even more magical! Glad we agree on the star content!
