Our Mutual Friend (Annotated): With Commentary by Benjamin Fife

When John Harmon Returns to England to claim his inheritance - and his intended bride - only to be found murdered, the fortune passes to the most unlikely of people. A satirical romp in humanity by the master novelist, Charles Dickens. In classic Dickens style, he explores what truly makes one wealthy, and how we view our fellow creatures.

This edition also includes written by audiobook narrator Benjamin Fife:

• Why the Dickens? Commentary on how Dickens is just as relevant in the 21st century as he was nearly two hundred years ago • A collection of vocabulary and their usage in Our Mutual Friend • An Exploration of Dickens and the Juxtaposition of different characters for contrast • Exploring the macro and microscopes Dickens uses to show the absurdity of Classism

Our Mutual Friend was the last complete novel Dickens wrote. With a cast of dozens, Dickens takes you on a romp of assumed identities, intrigue, conspirators, and loveable heroes. He explores the inadequacies of Britain's Poor Law, and just what some characters are willing to do for a bit of money.

- Our Mutual Friend marks a happy return to the earlier manner of Dickens at the end of Dickens’s life. - G.K. Chesterton
