Tale of Two Cities

Historical Fiction

In the 16th century, the period of French Revolution, the novel begins with young Lucy Manette, an adopted French-English woman who unites with her real father without realizing of his existence. Dr. Alexander Manette is a French physician who was blamed for the deaths that he hadn’t cause and spent 30 years in a prison of Bastille. From the imprisonment he is gone crazy and later is released. When young daughter and the father unite, they are both shocked at existence of each other. Through Lucy’s devoted care of her father, Dr. Manette regains his memory. Few years later, young men named Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton propose to Lucy. Surprisingly even though they are not related, they both look alike. She marries Darnay through a lot of considerations and rejects Carton’s proposal. Lucy and Darnay after their marriage, receive their precious jewel, a baby. This one happy family is ripped apart by the scandal of Darnay’s true identity, the responsibility he has in France and his involvement in the revolution.

This novel is truly worthy of being recommended to all high school students. It will not only touch the readers’ hearts but also provide a better meaning of love to them.
