A retelling of Charles Dickens · 1853

Bleak House

“While the endless Chancery suit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce devours a fortune and the lives of its hopeful heirs, an orphan girl, Esther Summerson, comes to live at Bleak House — and a cold, proud lady of fashion, a dead law-copyist and a sharp-eyed lawyer lead toward the secret of Esther's birth.”
