Little Dorrit

Little Dorrit, by Charles Dickens, is the story of Amy Dorrit, a kind and compassionate young woman who is born impoverished and becomes wealthy, but retains her goodness and strength of character throughout. Little Dorrit is a novel of family loyalty. The story of a girl who is taking care of a large family and her love for the rich young man, and at the same time sarcastic description of English society – the debtors ’ prison of the Marshalsea, financial practice and corruption. We follow the paths of three families, and rub shoulders with a few others as well.
