I think this is one of Dickens's best novels, and it is probably my favorite of his that I've read so far. He is a master observer and has such a clear understanding of human nature. There is humor and drama and it all comes together in a delightful melange.

That's the good news. The bad news is that it's a big brick of a book, but if you have the time and perseverance, it will be rewarded.

Reserving for the General Literature VBB.

Description from Amazon:

"As the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; and even Jo, the destitute little crossing-sweeper. A savage, but often comic, indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is one of Dickens's most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London slums."

Removing as unselected from the General Literature VBB and making available.

This is headed out to iwillrejoice as part of the wishlist tag game. Enjoy!

Arrived safely today. Thank you!!!

As I now have 2 of these, I'll be finding a new home for this one soon. Thanks for sharing!

While I did question the thought of leaving a book entitled "Bleak House" at the doctor's office, still, it's a Dickens novel... So, off it goes! Hoping it finds the right reader.
