Описание
In the fog of London, lawyers enrich themselves with endless litigation over a dwindling inheritance. A sterling example of Dickens's genius for character, dramatic construction, and social satire, this novel was hailed by Edmund Wilson as a "masterpiece".

I decided to read this having watched Dickensian on the BBC as I wanted to find out more about the Barbery sisters. I had seen Bleak House on TV many years ago so knew the general gist.I do love Dickens but some chapters I found hard work. There were a few chapters - generally about the more minor characters - that I just couldn't grasp so I couldn't focus on what was supposed to be happening i.e. George, Smallweed. The wider story was very engaging and as usual Dickens character descriptions were second to none.
