"'A Tale of Two Cities' is arguably the greatest story of mistaken identity ever told, interweaving a heart-breaking family tragedy with the bloody French Revolution.
Dr Manette is released from imprisonment in the Bastille and is reunited with his daughter, Lucie. Two men - an apathetic English lawyer and an exiled French aristocrat - vie for her love in a time of uncertainty, sacrifice and terror.
Self-proclaimed by Dickens and 'the best story I have ever written', 'A Tale of Two Cities' is an enduring epic of historical fiction." -- Back cover
