Keep reading and quizzing, Year 7!
This novel is different from Dickens’ other novels as it is set both in Paris and London during a time of political and social upheaval. The most interesting character is Sydney Carton, a cynical loner who changes and makes the ultimate sacrifice. It is one of Ms Taylor’s favourite books.
