Does seem like an escape from today's hard times. Now, I'm reading "Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution". Talk about "hard times!" I see another trip to Amazon in my future for your Dickens book, thanks for the Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158336083462589188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-78728464182986443402020-10-19T15:04:01.002-04:002020-10-19T15:04:01.002-04:00Years ago, I remember reading the word "hands...Years ago, I remember reading the word "hands" came about in England during the Industrial Revolution because all the owners of the shops thought of these people was their hands they used to create the product. Still the same today, I fear. I agree this could well be written by one of our prominent writers today and little would have changed, except, as you point out, the venison and Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-55061275656751558632020-10-19T10:19:50.560-04:002020-10-19T10:19:50.560-04:00I've read a lot of Dickens but this one passed...I've read a lot of Dickens but this one passed me by.

I think one of most amazing and best things about his books is that they still ring true today in so many ways. Thanks for this review Mae. I am going to listen to another Dickens novel in the near future and this may be my next one. (Or maybe Bleak House-have you read that?)
