The cover of A Tale of Two Cities caught my eye first. Interested to hear whether the story matches the mood.

Niamh, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

A Tale of Two Cities is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Oisin, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering A Tale of Two Cities: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
