Dickens's last completed novel and one of the greatest books about London, Our Mutual Friend is a dark, enigmatic portrayal of a city corrupted by money. When a body is pulled out of the Thames it is presumed to be John Harmon, drowned under suspicious circumstances before he could claim the fortune his father made from rubbish heaps. This mystery impinges on the lives of the nave, hardworking Boffins, the riverside scavenger Gaffer Hexam, his beautiful daughter Lizzie, the mercenary Bella Wilfer and the dolls' dressmaker Jenny Wren, in a story of greed, death and renewal.
