Esther Summerson watches as her friends and neighbours are consumed by their hopes and disappointments with the proceedings.

Review:
"Dickens's chilling tale of murder and betrayal" (Sunday Times)
"Kafka's favourite book, a tour de force that mixes grand scale and minutely-observed, perfectly-heard reality. Incomparable set-pieces (that opening! spontaneous combustion!) and dialogue" (James Hawes)
"I keep on reading it in order to discover how to write a novel" (John Mortimer)
"Bleak House reads like an encyclopedia not only of its time and place but of us" (Elizabeth Kostova)
"Bleak House is the literati's favourite Dickens. It's one of the few stories that has modern resonance: the tale of a never-ending court case can be seen -if you squint -as the precursor of Kafka and Orwell" (A.A. Gill)
