Experience Dickens’ satirical genius in

Our Mutual Friend paints a vivid picture of greed, love, and redemption amid the murky waters of Victorian social change, while

Rounding out this collection is
Barnaby Rudge, a gripping historical novel set during the Gordon Riots, blending history, love, and rebellion in one of Dickens’ lesser-known but equally compelling works.
