Reviews
I find it irresistible: the autumn evening closing in, the crazy little boat afloat on the filthy Thames, the strong young woman plying the oars and a ragged, grizzled man, her father, busying himself with something towed in the water behind them. You are some way into the narrative before it dawns on you that it is a drowned body.Shirley Hughes, Independent
Dickens's last completed novel is a marvel of play-acting and posturing, of taking on roles through delusion, calculation and ambitionPhilip Hensher, Guardian
