Written in 1865, Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens is the last novel from the beloved author. In this novel the themes of social class and satire combine to create what critics called a most "sophisticated" novel. When a lonely and estranged miser dies, his fortune is to go to his son on one condition. He must marry a woman with whom he has no knowledge of and has never met. Upon his return trip from exile imposed by his father, he confides in a fellow traveler who then plots to murder him. The novel is one of Dickens most complex and cynical.
