The Turning Point By Robert Douglas-Fairhurst AudioBook Summary
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.
The year is 1851. It’s a time of radical change in Britain, when industrial miracles and artistic innovations rub shoulders with political unrest, poverty, and disease. It is also a turbulent year in the private life of Charles Dickens, as he copes with a double bereavement and early signs that his marriage is falling apart. But this formative year will become perhaps the greatest turning point in Dickens’s career, as he embraces his calling as a chronicler of ordinary people’s lives and develops a new form of writing that will reveal just how interconnected the world is becoming.
