✓ Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens

by Charles Dickens

[Andrea]

Ooohhhh, how I love Dickens, Connie! although this novel should really be titled “Dombey and Daughter.” Dombey’s daughter, Florence (?), is the true protagonist of this tale, not his son, Paul (?). It’s been years since I read this ... it definitely needs to be re-read!
Regards,
Andrea

[Connie]

I'm enjoying it, Andrea.
