About

A sinister masterpiece, this chilling tale unfolds around drowning, disguises, and doubles, violence, murder, and triumphant love. Characters include young John Harmon, presumed killed on his return to England but very much alive, and Bella Wilfer, one of Dickens's most splendid female characters. This novel is quintessentially Dickensian in its grotesque caricatures and rich symbolism.
