Fact vs Compassion: A Short Dickens Novel
Yes. It has interesting caricatures of hypocrites. This is a great way to start with Dickens.
The factory imagery. The love story.
It's hard for me to pick up on accents.
The "s" sounds are shrill.
I can't speed it up.
No it stands alone. This is a book about idea, not just plot.
If you want to try a Dickens, this (and A Christmas Carol) are a great place to start. He is about social reform and commentary. His views are relevant today. The story is also filled with plot and a love story.
