Our Mutual Friend made me want to be a writer
Zoe Heller, Guardian
Our Mutual Friend disturbs us to the root of our being...terribly great
John Sutherland
Perhaps his greatest work. The great novel of London: dark, wise, unsentimental
William Boyd, Newsweek
Charles Dickens is the greatest novelist in the English language
Peter Ackroyd
This combines social satire, a gripping murder mystery and a portrait of Victorian London that still rings deep and true
Amanda Craig, Sunday Express
Dickens wasn't just telling a story, but drawing a panoramic picture of his times, full of detail about the way the Victorians lived, loved and thought. Our Mutual Friend is superbly constructed - part social satire, part murder mystery, part love story. It is crowded with memorable characters: the aspirational Veneerings, the playboy lawyer Eugene Wrayburn, and the heroines: giddy-minded Bella Wilfur and saintly Lizzy Hexam
Independent
Nowhere is the author's overriding concern with the darker aspects of Victorian society and values better expressed than in his last completed novel
