Charles Dickens' sprawling masterpiece centers on the interminable Chancery lawsuit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, which blights the lives of everyone it touches. Told partly through the eyes of the orphan Esther Summerson, the novel interweaves dozens of characters across London's fog-choked streets — from aristocrats hiding dark secrets to street urchins surviving by their wits — in a devastating satire of the English legal system.
