Dicken's best. The first 40 pages on the fog are the best in literature. Mr. Guppy was the original middle manager.

This was not as good as his two other books but it was still a great read. As usual Lamb is able to catch the current flavour of the nation and no one ties in character and politics better than good old Wally

Lawrence Hill

I am interested in the topic to begin with since I am also writing a book in the same era. Hill , a male author, has created a really believable female character. He manages to describe what makes the human spirit survive as well as educating the reader on exactly how slavery worked.
