Read It Again--a tALE OF tWO cITIES

**Accepting New Members**

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

'It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.' Join us to read or re-read what follows on from that famous opening line. The story moves between London and Paris in the period of turmoil that leads to the French Revolution, taking us from the release of a French prisoner to the death of an English lawyer on the guillotine. It's also about lives that become intertwined by love and coincidence. In fact, it's the perfect plot for a movie, ending with another memorable line: 'It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.'

Participants are asked to read the first book (or "Book the First" as Dickens called it) by the first meeting.
