About the Book: Amidst the brewing chaos of the French Revolution, the cities of London and Paris witness a stirring tale of love and sacrifice. Two men who share the same face but belong to different worlds-former aristocrat Charles Darnay and disillusioned barrister Sydney Carton-fall in love with the same woman: Lucie Manette, a gentle force who brings light into their dark lives. As the revolution reaches a peak, tragedy strikes. Travelling into France to rescue an old family servant, Charles Darnay is caught and imprisoned for being an aristocrat.
