It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,

A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met. The story is set against the conditions that led up to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror.
Honestly wasn't super excited about this through most of it (though I'm trying to be kind to Dickens) but the end payoff was satisfying, even though I saw it coming. I am glad in the end that I know the Defarges. This book is a slow burn.
