Stunning. A very enjoyable listen.
A great story set in terrible times, read brilliantly by Anton Lesser, whose characterisations and narration were superb.

Brilliant Anton Lesser, as always
Anton Lesser is a perfect reader of Dickens: every measured word, the light, the funny and the sad, the broken. The end was particularly good. I had forgotten so much was saved if the story to the last quarter. Knowing what was coming made it even more powerful I think. In Covid times, to hear the repetition of ‘i am the resurrection and the life’ as Sydney Carton nears his end was most moving to me. Thank you.

I'm not eloquent enough ...
... To properly praise the author and narrator, so I will not embarrass myself by trying. All I can do is press the five stars, like some thumbprint. And thank you both.

Gripping
Very well read, gripping and melodramatic classic. Not as easy to identify with as eg David Copperfield but offered a deep insight into the dynamic of European history. I highly recommend it.

Brilliant Dickens, Brilliant Lesser
Would you listen to A Tale of Two Cities again? Why?
In a few years I will listen to a Tale of Two Cities again, to enjoy the brilliance of writer and narrator.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The fight scene between Madame Defarge and Miss Pross, surely the source of the final fight scene in Alien.

Not his best
Great first and last lines. Great characters. Works better as a critique of the revolution than a dickens novel
