Description

No Thoroughfare: A Complex and Entertaining Story by Two Outstanding Authors

Taken out of a health care institution by someone he believed was his real mother, Walter Wilding was brought up, and spent years believing that he was the son of the wealthy woman who took him in. What will happen, however, when, after a curious and extraordinary set of events, the boy -now grown up – realizes that he was never entitled to the fortune he had inherited?

This complex and intriguing story that follows several timelines and strangely resonating events that will glue you to the edge of your seat as you read it, is one of Charles Dickens’ last works and the last one that was also developed as a play.

Several other plots are also followed closely in the novel, one involving a love affair that the young man’s business partner had with a young Swiss woman; the other involving a robbery that is closely connected to the love story, and directly involves the protagonists in all three plot lines.

The two brilliant authors, Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, are able to elegantly develop the story in such a way that it unfolds naturally and is helped along by the genuine and complex personalities of the characters, despite the somewhat forced or slightly less believable events found in some of the areas of the tale.

Nevertheless, the novel remains entirely believable, as well as engaging and entertaining in its own unique way – a somewhat unsurprising result when you think of the many other brilliant stories that Charles Dickens had written prior to this one.

Today, No Thoroughfare remains an extremely enjoyable read, and one that presents events to unfold in ways that would not be surprising to find in real life situations even today.

If you are interested in a dynamic, eventful story that you never really know how to approach or what to expect from, just allow No Thoroughfare to transport you to an exciting and imaginative world.
