This was a struggle to listen to on audio. I may revisit this story on paper in the future.... Not this year though.The two cities in the tale? London and Paris.The time setting is during the French Revolution. The novel tells the story of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy i...
I can't believe I rated a book written by Dickens 3 stars, but really! The first and second part should be a lot shorter and more focusing!Almost entire story happened in the last part of the book. The story alone is great, the execution had failed me though. Normally, if it was modern writing I wou...
