Bleak House by Charles Dickens

THE CASE OF JARNDYCE AND JARNDYCE HAS BEEN GRINDING
ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURTS FOR GENERATIONS.

At its heart are Ada Clare and Richard Carstone, who find love
- and terrible loss - through their involvement in the
endless legal battle. Meanwhile, their friend Esther Summerson.
Who believes she is an orphan, gradually discovers the truth
of her identity. The court case throws out a web ensnaring
all who come near it - from haughty Lady Dedlock, hiding the
truth about her past, and the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn
to determined detective Bucket, on the trail of a murder, and
tragic little waif Jo, holding the key to a mystery.

Secrets emerge, horrific crimes are committed and love affairs
bloom, but will anyone ever benefit from the case of
Jarndyce and Jarndyce? Or will the quest for an inheritance
come at a terrible cost?
