About the book

Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit centres on Amy Dorrit, who has grown up inside London's Marshalsea debtors' prison, where her father has been confined for many years. Despite the poverty surrounding her, Amy remains kind, loyal and quietly resilient. Her life becomes connected with Arthur Clennam, who begins investigating a mysterious connection between his family and the Dorrits. Dickens uses their story to attack debtors' prisons, financial speculation and the absurdities of government bureaucracy, while exploring wealth, pride, family obligation and the true meaning of freedom.
