Summary
William Dorrit has been a resident of the Marshalsea debtors prison for so many years that he has gained the nickname "The Father of the Marshalsea". However, his suffering is eased by his close bond with youngest daughter Amy, or "Little Dorrit".
The dashing Arthur Clennam, returning to London after many years in China, enters their lives, and the Dorrits' fortunes begin to rise and fall.
A biting satirical work on the shortcomings of 19th century government and society.

Outstanding
What an incredible story. Complex characters, richly described; a twisting narrative; and the sublime narration and voice characterisation of Anton Lesser. Fascinating. Very satisfying storyline, development and conclusion. Interesting how little human nature changes through history and many very apt lessons in this Victorian tale for today.

Not Dicken's at his best but still pretty good.
Not as strong in storyline or characters as Dicken's other large novels and I struggled a bit through the first half, but still enjoyed it ocerall. Anton Lesser's reading was great as always!

Truly Sublime!!
My first audiobook and every time I treat myself to a listen, I end up grinning from ear to ear. Mr.Lesser does a fantastic job of bringing all the wonderful characters so vividly to life. Hilarious and heart-breaking in turn, this is a masterpiece given a masterful treatment. Highly recommended,

Superb performance
Anton Lesser could make reading the telephone directory interesting. This is a superb performance which really adds to the understanding of the novel. Faultless.

Wonderful narration.
I have read Little Dorrit and consider it one of Dickens' best novels. This reading is so good though, I couldn't
wait to continue listening. Anton Lesser never 'gets in the way' of the flow of the story. His characterisation
is excellent and enjoyable. Top marks!
