A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Downloadable Audio,14 hours 19 minutes, read by Martin Jarvis.
Jarvis does a wonderful job of reading Dickens' classic tale of love and redemption during the time of the French Revolution. Doctor Manette, Lucie, Charles Darnay, the Defarges, and Sydney Carton all come vividly to life in this enjoyable edition. In London we have the tale of a man recalled to life after a long imprisonment for a crime he will not discuss, his long suffering daughter, and the two men who love her; the one whom she loves, who has a secret of his own, and the dissolute lawyer who would do almost anything to redeem himself in her eyes. Set against this we have the French side of the story with the soon-to-be-dead Marquis, and Monsieur Defarge and his friends the Jacques, and Madame Defarge, with her knitting, and with her followers, such as the Vengeance. A timeless classic.
