Summary:
After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the
aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter
in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled
French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant
English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette.
From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their
will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of
the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La
Guillotine.
