A Tale of Two Cities April 13, 2009

After 18 long years spent wrongfully imprisoned in the Bastille, Dr. Manette returns to live with his daughter in London. There, Lucie marries the heroic French nobleman, Charles Darnay, who has renounced his name, his title, and the oppression they represent. Just as this family seems poised to escape their tragic past, the vengeful web of Madame Defarge traps them in Paris during the brutal terror of the French Revolution. As the shadow of the guillotine creeps ever closer, the unheroic Sydney Carton discovers that even wasted lives may have the power to change history.
