Ugh, I need some encouragement to keep going with this one! I LOVE Dickens but this one feels repetitive and dry. I don't know I can be introduced to another 3 generations of a family in order to build up to a single (side) character's storyline! Plus Esther's moralising is getting a little old. Does it get better?

I felt the same about Oliver Twist and almost didn’t finish it, but I’m glad I stuck with it.
There is one particularly famous scene involving fire 🔥 . That is all I want to say for fear of spoiling it. But it’s worth pressing on for. (This is Andrew Van Os BTW lest you forgot my Goodreads pseudonym).
