So far, I'm enjoying it. Dickens is exploring some interesting parallels in this book. Alongside the physical prisons the characters inhabit, this is also a story about psychological imprisonment. There's a kind of weary and melancholy complacency in at all.

Interesting to see an older, early 40's protagonist at the head of a Dickens novel. Normally, his leading men/women are in their mid-twenties at the most. To have a protagonist who's already lived so much of their life and lived it quite unfulfillingly is an interesting change of the usual trademark.

Here we go, my final Dickens novel. This feels hella bittersweet.
