Our Mutual Friend

Noddy Boffin's transformation from a common clerk to the wealthy Golden Dustman sets the stage for a biting social commentary on wealth and its implications in society. Dickens masterfully weaves themes of money's allure and curse, showcasing his signature style of satire and character exploration. This novel, his last completed work, remains a significant critique of Victorian society. The new edition includes an introductory chapter from G. K. Chesterton's Appreciations and Criticisms, enhancing its literary context.
