Publisher's summary

With well over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period.

Poor quality and narration

What would have made A Tale of Two Cities better?

Another narrator, better recorded.

Couldn't listen long enough to find out.

No.

What character would you cut from A Tale of Two Cities?

Don't know.

Any additional comments?

Not worth the $2.95 I paid because I could not endure the narration or quality.
