Most people know these famous first words of "A Tale of Two Cities," but many do not know anything about the enthralling, moving story that follows them. It is a wonderful tale of the goodness of humanity even in the midst of the terrible atrocities of the French Revolution. It speaks of redemption, sacrifice, and charity (the pure love of Christ).
Besides being a masterpiece of literature, it is also one of Dickens' shorter works, and thus a good place to start for those who have never read Dickens before. And if you haven't read any Dickens, I highly recommend one of the greats of English literature.
So pick up this inspiring tale, one which you will never forget. You might even be moved to tears.

I totally agree. This is one of my top two or three favorite books of all time. Hmm, I'm going to have to take it out and read it again...it's been a while.
