Ann Giles, Bookwitchĭodger is a hero who Dickens would love. The reason I feel the need to point this out is that it is so rare. ![]() Masterly and entertaining Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Timesĭodger is a book filled with kindness and wisdom. Interwoven with historical figures such as Charles Dickens, Robert Peel and Disraeli, Dodger is convincing proof of still galloping imagination. Unexpected, drily funny and full of the pathos and wonder of life: Don't miss it. Historical fiction in the hands of the inimitable Sir Terry brings the sights and the smells (most certainly the smells) of Old London wonderfully to life. It's a masterwork from a treasure and hero of a writer, and it will delight you. full of eccentric characters and carefully detailed London scenes, the tale embodies both Dickens's love for the common man and a fierce desire for social justice. Guardianĭodger feels fresh, vibrant and full of energy, a triumph that should be celebrated as yet another glorious gift from Narrativia. As Dodger's triumphant path ultimately brings him honour from the very highest rank of society, we cannot help but cheer not only for his success, but also for the success of this ebullient, funny and delightful novel. we are captivated by ingenious word-building on every page. Here, once again, is the mark of a great writer. ![]()
