Bleak House | Charles Dickens
At its center is the long-running court case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a legal battle over an inheritance that has dragged on for generations, ruining lives in the process. Caught in its web are Esther Summerson, a kind and intelligent young woman with a mysterious past; Ada Clare and Richard Carstone, two young heirs whose futures depend on the case’s outcome; and John Jarndyce, their benevolent guardian who despises the legal system’s endless delays.
Meanwhile, a darker mystery unfolds as Lady Dedlock, a woman with a seemingly perfect life, harbors a secret that could destroy her reputation. When the cunning lawyer Mr. Tulkinghorn begins to uncover her past, a chain of events is set in motion that will lead to shocking revelations and even murder.
