Bleak House

" Bleak House" is a long and complex novel by Dickens, exploring the machinations of the English legal system.At the center of its narrative stands the " Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce" lawsuit, and all the characters are drawn to it like moths to a flame. An obvious and satirical attack on the judicial system, the novel is also a tragic human story about family issues, romance, betrayals, and secrets.It is a novel drowned in fog and hopelessness, where people' s sin-ridden souls wade in mud-covered streets. A five-star recommendation for fans of Dickens.
