As the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada Clare and Richard Carstone, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs Esther Summerson, a ward of court the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket and even Jo, a destitute crossingsweeper. A savage indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is one of Dickenss most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawingrooms of the aristocracy to the London slums.
