The Turning Point: 1851--A Year That Changed Charles Dickens and the World
Robert Douglas-Fairhurst
A major new biography that takes an unusual and illuminating approach to the great writer—immersing us in one year of his life—from the award-winning author of Becoming Dickens and The Story of Alice.
