Summary

‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…’

Charles Darnay is an exiled French soldier. Sydney Carter, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer. In Dickens’ gripping, vivid historical drama the lives of these two men become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette, the daughter of a political prisoner.

The lives of Charles and Sydney are drawn from the calm, peaceful roads of London to the bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror. Soon they fall under the shadow of La Guillotine…

Marvellous characterisation

Terrific variation in the voices of the different characters, especially Jerry Cruncher, Miss Pross and Madame Defarges. Excellent combination of comedic moments and sombre. This reading does Dickens justice.
