Synopsis
Peter Ackroyd often takes an historical event or period and reinterprets it in light of a more modern one. In his first novel, which is essentially a rewrite of LITTLE DORRIT, Ackroyd's story involves a modern filmmaker (with the very literary name of Spenser Spender) who is trying to make a film of Dickens's novel, set in a London prison. The project becomes the focus of the interests of a colorful--and very Dickensian--collection of characters. As in all Ackroyd's novels, his first effort makes the city of London into something like a major character in the tale.
