Our Mutual Friend

Our Mutual Friend was Dickens' last finished novel, but you know he wouldn't let us off too easy. OMF is widely recognized as one of his most complex and sophisticated works - which, if you've read this whole list, you know is really saying something. The whole story ignites with a shocking discovery: the heir to a significant fortune (Dickens sure loved this plot device), John Harmon, is found dead and bloated in the River Thames. This means the money will go to his family's loyal employees, the Boffins, instead. The Boffins also take in Bella Wilfer, who was Harmon's intended, though they had never met. Bella is still dead-set on marrying for money, though she seems to have an unusual connection with the Boffins' poor secretary, Rokesmith. Parallel to this plotline runs the dilemma of Lizzie Hexam, the daughter of the man who pulled Harmon out of the water, and who must grapple with some not-so-suitable suitors of her own.
