Our mutual friend, no. 11

Public

Last complete novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining savage satire with social analysis. In the opening chapters a body is found in the Thames and identified as that of John Harmon, a young man recently returned to London to receive his inheritance. Were he alive, his father's will would require him to marry Bella Wilfer, a beautiful, mercenary girl whom he had never met. Instead, the money passes to the working-class Boffins, and the effects spread into various corners of London society. Issued monthly from May 1864 to November 1865 in illustrated green paper covers. Chapters 1-4: Chapter 1. Lodgers in Queer Street -- Chapter 2. A respected friend in a new aspect -- Chapter 3. The same respected friend in more aspects than one -- Chapter 4. A happy return of the day
