First published in 1859, the novel is set around London and Paris during the French Revolution. It is a troubling time and it is hard to make a distinction between the guilty and the innocent. It is during this turbulence that Doctor Alexandre Manette is wrongly imprisoned in Bastille for eighteen years. When he is finally released and reunited with his daughter Lucie, they both travel to England. While they hope to reconnect the severed threads of their lives and rebuild a life together, their peace is threatened once more. The duo is summoned to Old Bailey to testify against a gentleman named Charles Darnay who is wrongly accused of treason. Will Doctor Manette and Lucie be able to save Darnay? Or will he be hanged? A Tale of Two Cities brings a story full of drama, romance and heroism that keeps its readers captivated till the end.

Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812. He received little formal education as the conditions at home forced him to leave school and work in a factory at an early age. His early circumstances left a lasting impression on Dickens and greatly influenced his work, be it literary or philanthropic. Having worked in various professions, Dickens started writing in newspapers and magazines and most of his work was published as monthly serials in them. Dickens was a prolific writer. He wrote over a dozen novels, many a collection of short stories, a large body of non-fiction and poetic works, and many plays. He was arguably the best Victorian novelist and enjoyed great fame during his lifetime. He died in 1870 but even today he is one of the most popular authors of all times
