“Martin Chuzzlewit” by Charles Dickens

I’m posting this on Dec 31, 2018, but I actually read it years ago. I remember enjoying it, but it did not make much of an impression on me, (since I barely recall reading it) apart from surprise that Dickens had the U.S. as a backdrop for one of his novels. I’m posting this now because I just watched the movie “The Man Who Invented Christmas” and it has revived my interest in Dickens. I actually think he was the most influential writer in my life.... Dry humour and compassion for the downtrodden.
