A whisper of Jack‘s old intensity captured her gaze as he brushed a tear from her cheek. “I couldn‘t imagine a finer life than spending every day with you, Olivia MacCarron.”
And just like that, the Artful Dodger stole her heart, again.

But, if the spirits of the Dead ever come back to the earth, to visit spots hallowed by the love—the love beyond the grave—of those whom they knew in life, I believe that the shade Agnes sometimes hovers round that solemn nook. I believe it none the less because that nook is in a Church, and she was weak and erring.

For long minutes, there was considerable doubt as to whether the child would survive to bear a name at all. Although being born in a workhouse was not the most fortunate of circumstances, in this child‘s case the alternative would have made for a much different story; likely a very short one.

This was a fun retelling of Oliver Twist. It was interesting to see a continuation of the original story. I‘m usually not a fan of historical fiction novels, but this one was worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! This is what happens when a successful comic artist acknowledges the harm of type characters. He examines the roles of social circumstances and antisemitism in the untold story of Fagin before Oliver Twist. I greatly enjoyed this, and the afterward examining the role works of fiction often play in perpetuating bias is amazing. Eisner even aknowledges his own harmful character types and what he's learned since. #Bias #Jewish #ClassicLiterature

Kenyazero I also looked up several of the brief characters represented in the start of the book, and so many of them were real people! 3y
