A Reign of Terror! The mobs in the streets run wild, and danger is everywhere. Lucy Manette, half-English, half-French, lives quietly with her family in London. Having rescued her father many years earlier she feels safe. But the long, bloody hand of the mob reaches out for her and her family, thrusting them into ever-increasing danger. Love, loyalty, friendship and even life itself are threatened in Charles Dickens' unforgettable, most dramatic book.
