Description:

Our Mutual Friend (Book 2) as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. In the heart of London, wealth and power shape destinies, but beneath the polished surface lies a world of scheming and deception. As Mr. and Mrs. Boffin settle into their newfound fortune, their simple kindness is tested by the whispers of high society and the manipulations of those who seek to control them. Watching closely is the cunning Mr. Wegg, a man with secrets of his own, who sees an opportunity to carve out his share of the Boffins' riches—no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Bella Wilfer, once promised to a dead man, wrestles with her conflicting desires. Can she truly love without wealth? Or will she become the very thing she despises—a woman who marries for money alone? Her fate takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself under the mentorship of the generous, eccentric Mr. Boffin—though his lessons may not be what they seem. Elsewhere, Eugene Wrayburn's growing fascination with Lizzie Hexam, the boatman’s daughter, sets off a chain of events that could destroy them both. As his interest deepens into something more dangerous, a jealous, vengeful schoolmaster named Bradley Headstone lurks in the shadows, his obsession turning into madness. Secrets tighten like a noose, as betrayal, greed, and love collide in unexpected ways. From glittering ballrooms to the dark alleys where fate is sealed with blood, Book the Second: Birds of a Feather is a tale of ambition and consequence. When fortunes shift and hearts are tested, who will soar—and who will fall? Duration - 8h 8m. Author - Charles Dickens. Narrator - Ophelia Darcy. Published Date - Friday, 31 January 2025.
