I'd suggest reading through Paris Was a Woman: Portraits from the Left Bank first and then start tackling this, an extremely deep analysis of the female Paris expatriation. I just recently discovered this fantastic subject and all its wonderful women, some of who still are unfortunately quite unknown to the general public, tramped by the male Modernists. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77345428 Our Mutual Friend (Paperback) by Charles Dickens

An excerpt of this is one of the texts we work with in a translation course. Based on the first pages it looks promising.

Edit: Some really lovely passages and a great idea to have the point of view of multiple characters but the characters were thin. All in all a relaxing light read where the murderer was definitely not the one I expected to be. Wonderful twist. ]]>
