A Tale of Two Cities Details
A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is the second historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, and the corresponding savage brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events, most notably Charles Darnay, a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated English barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette.

Reviews
I love the story and Dickens is my favorite author so I'm not giving him or the story 1 star, but this paperback 'book' format was horrible. The print is tiny with maybe a size 6 font (?) on a horrendously big 8x13 page (bigger than the size of printer paper) so you constantly lose your place when trying to move to the next line/row. Also, because this 'book' is soooo big and awkward in size (but again, with teeny tiny fonts!), you can't fit it into your purse -- you'd need a big tote or backpack to carry this around and it takes up too much space on any table/night stand to lay around. The seller did note dimensions in description so it was my fault for buying but who prints on 8x13 pages with 6 size fonts?! You could at least make the font super BIG for people with vision issues.
