Little Dorrit is a long Dickens novel, originally serialized in 1855 - 1857. It’s a mystery, along with a great deal of social and economic commentary. The mysteries involve Amy Dorrit, Arthur Clennam, and Mrs Clennam, Arthur’s mother. Dickens’ commentary is largely concerned with debtors’ prison. Much of the story is set in a debtors’ prison. Class, marriage, poverty, government bureaucracy, and economic victimization also get addressed. Little Dorrit is long, and parts of it drag a bit. It’s long because the mysteries are complex, and Dickens is methodical and detailed in establishing them. The reveal is told at a faster pace, which works only because Dickens has carefully laid the foundation. Like many other Dickens novels, Little Dorrit is full of interesting minor characters and engaging sub-plots. I liked Little Dorrit so much that I’ll probably read it again. Highly recommended.
