A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens


We had to choose between Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities. Since we are in groups of two, my partner really wanted to read Great Expectations, so I let her pick that one and I didn’t have a problem choosing the other novel. I am sure both novels are great.

The novel A Tale of Two Cities starts in the year 1775, during the French Revolution. Charles Dickens chose to name the novel "A Tale of Two Cities" because it was the closest contact of European life at the time. Dickens' other novels was based in one city and because this takes place in two of the great cities.  Therefore, I think that the novel’s title fits it very well.
