By Charles Dickens
Actually I listened to this book on tape. YES! Cassette tape. I checked it out at the library and listened to the many cassettes while spending hours in the kitchen making pickles and salsa and tomato juice. I got bored of just standing there, immersed in veggies and empty thoughts.
The story was very confusing at first. I kept having to stop and rewind and listen to something that I didn't understand, only to discover that I still didn't understand it. Dickens wove an intricate tale that had to be heard or read from start to finish to understand. I kept thinking, "Will I ever know the story behind this scene?" It was a little aggravating. But it drew me in and had me hooked and especially made me glad that I didn't live in France during that horrible time.
Until Next Time ;o)
