Nicholas Nickleby is one of Charles Dickens’ earlier and more whimsical works, capturing the essence of Victorian England with vivid detail and unforgettable characters. Young Nicholas, after the death of his father, finds himself responsible for his destitute family. I remember being completely drawn into the trials and tribulations he faces—his adventures with the cruel Squeers at Dotheboys Hall and the colorful travels through London. Dickens’ brilliant storytelling often leaves you laughing and crying on the same page, making it a read that lingers long after you’ve turned the last page.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
