 | Our Mutual Friend by Adrian Poole, Charles Dickens, Jim Killavey, Michael Cotsell
John Harmon, presumed dead, returns to claim his inheritance--and also to claim Bella Wilfer, the woman his father's will stipulates he must marry. Wishing to discover Bella's true character, he hides his identity and becomes the secretary to the amiable Boffins, who were second in line to inherit the estate. Mr. Boffin, by a series of machinations, ensures that Bella appreciates the worth of the penniless Harmon--whose real identity is of course revealed in the end, to the joy of the honest Boffins, who refuse to succumb to the crass materialism displayed by most of the other characters. A scathing critique of the skewed values of mid-Victorian society, Our Mutual Friend is one of Dickens's most powerful, humorous, and appealing novels.
