It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the time of the French revolution, and Dr. Manette, imprisoned unjustly 18 years ago, has been released from the Bastille prison in Paris--but his trials are just beginning. This meticulously researched novel is a classic examination of the power of sacrifice, and of finding life and redemption in the most miserable of circumstances. This edition has been newly formatted and typeset for modern readers by Waking Lion Press.
