The book's 22nd chapter contains a robbery that also stands as a vivid scene of barely-averted rape. It's very effective, and Victorian English novelists were working under more content restrictions that French writers of the same period. But you knew that.

Someone here, not me, just finished re-reading The Old Curiosity Shop. Dickens was a very remarkable writer for any time and the book I have on my Amazon list is this one. What he managed to pull off is almost unimaginable.
It's always good to find someone with common interests.
Yet another interesting 10. I can imagine the way most of them would lead into the next. Who needs dj's now?
Oh, there are plenty of good DJs. What there aren't that many of are radio stations with decent formats, which is a shame.
Which book were you referring to? The link didn't quite work out.
Sorry about that. You could google:
Charles Dickens by Michael Slater - Guardian Review
