Bleak House is arguably Dickens' most accomplished novel, blending together masterful storytelling with relevant social critique.
As the inheritance case of Jarndyce verses Jarndyce winds its way endlessly through the law courts, orphaned Esther Summerson narrates a mysterious story in which the lives of disparate characters become increasingly intertwined. As scandals and corruption bleed through the city's institutions, the truth slowly reveals itself.
In this savagely satirical and tragic thriller, Dickens exposes the repression, cruelty, greed and prejudice at the heart of British society.
