Little Dorrit

 by Charles Dickens

My Christmas book for this year. Every time I reread a Dickens I enjoy it more I think.

This one was no different as Arthur Clennam returns from China after his father's death, to be confronted with his cold domineering mother and a whole host of intertwined mysteries. One of these, of course, involves our eponymous heroine and her father who is imprisoned in the Marshalsea-a debtors prison.

Full of humour and biting satire this is a long but enjoyable feel good read. 9/10
