Charles Dickens's epic tale following the different legal parties in a Chancery lawsuit, taken from Dickens's own childhood experiences of being sent to work in a factory while his father was in a debtors' prison, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line.
The complex story of a notorious lawsuit in which love and inheritance are set against the classic urban background of 19th-century London, where fog on the river, seeping into the very bones of the characters, symbolizes the corruption of the legal system and the society which supports it.
