Synopsis
John Harmon, presumed dead, returns to claim his inheritance--and also to claim Bella Wilfer, the woman his father's will stipulates he must marry. Wishing to discover Bella's true character, he hides his identity and becomes the secretary to the amiable Boffins, who were second in line to inherit the estate. Mr. Boffin, by a series of machinations, ensures that Bella appreciates the worth of the "penniless" Harmon--whose real identity is of course revealed in the end, to the joy of the honest Boffins, who refuse to succumb to the crass materialism displayed by most of the other characters. A scathing critique of the skewed values of mid-Victorian society, OUR MUTUAL FRIEND is one of Dickens's most powerful, humorous, and appealing novels.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In these times of ours, though concerning the exact year there is no need to be precise, a boat of dirty and disreputable appearance, with two figures in it, floated on the Thames, between Southwark bridge which is of iron, and London Bridge which is of stone, as an autumn evening was closing in. The figures in this boat were those of a strong man with ragged grizzled hair and a sun-browned face, and a dark girl of nineteen or twenty, sufficiently like him to be recognizable as his daughter."
Industry Reviews
"The fact that Dickens is always thought of as a caricaturist, although he was constantly trying to be something else, is perhaps the surest mark of his genius. The monstrosities that he created are still remembered as monstrosities, in spite of getting mixed up in would-be probable melodramas. Their first impact is so vivid that nothing that comes afterwards effaces it."
George Orwell
"[I]n this wasteland milieu, inhabited by clown-like and ghostly characters, Dickens's world becomes before our eyes the world of Samuel Beckett."
Washington Post Book World - Michael Dirda (09/26/1999)
