The Jarndyce and Jarndyce inheritance case lasts for many generations and involves a multitude of characters from various social classes. Among them are Esther Summerson, Dickens' daring heroine, Sir Leicester and Lady Dedlock, cloistered in their stately home in Lincolnshire, and Jo, the poor street sweeper. The complex relationships of the characters keep us in suspense and enchant us.

Indeed, in no other novel by Charles Dickens is the thematic scope so broad, the content so comprehensive, and the linguistic texture so rich, with a unique gallery of comically absurd characters.
