Bleak House is a novel by celebrated English author Charles Dickens, first serialised and then published in book form in 1853. The complex plot, aided by a brilliantly depicted and engaging cast of characters, is in many ways a detective story, incorporating as it does elements of crime, mystery and romance.Set in 19th century London, this is an intricate story of the infamous 'Jarndyce and Jarndyce' law-suit in which its characters are entangled, the cold and fog seeping from the Thames representing the confounding and pernicious effect on everyone involved in this legal quagmire.A powerful, absorbing literary classic, and an unmissable read.
