'Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn; and you are too sensible a man not to learn from this failure.'

A timeless classic, and a moving tale of hope, courage and resilience, Little Dorrit remains one of Dickens's most admired works.

Through a series of strange events involving murky family secrets, Amy's life becomes entangled with a mysterious stranger. Soon enough, her circumstances are changed forever. A compelling narrative of love, redemption and hope, Little Dorrit is a reminder of the importance of moral strength amid corruption. This audio edition is beautifully narrated by Emma Gregory.
