A Tale of Two Cities
Set during the French Revolution, the story follows Doctor Manette after his release from 18 years of imprisonment in the Bastille. He reunites with his daughter Lucie in London, where she falls in love with and marries a man who conceals his aristocratic French heritage. When the Revolution erupts, events draw them back to Paris where loyalty, sacrifice, and the violence of the Terror test them all.
