Sinossi

A historical novel published in 1859, it is set in London and Paris during the turbulent years of the French Revolution. The story centers on Dr. Alexandre Manette, whose life is transformed by his mysterious 18-year imprisonment in the Bastille and his later reunion with his daughter, Lucie. As revolutionary upheaval spreads, Manette’s family is drawn into wider conflicts involving a French aristocrat trying to escape his past and an English lawyer whose behavior conceals deeper feelings. Throughout the terror and violence of the period, relationships, concealed histories, and difficult choices influence the course of multiple lives.
