Nicholas Nickleby is left responsible for his mother and sister when his father dies. The novel follows his attempt to succeed in supporting them, despite his uncle Ralph's antagonistic lack of belief in him. It is one of Dickens' early comic novels.

worth the invested time

4 étoiles

This felt an enormous read. At times could do with tighter editing, but I think that's a product of the original serial format.

The book follows the titular character, his family and friends through good and bad.
