About This Novel
"Twin Cities" refers to the two large cities of Paris and London. The story revolves around Dr. Manette's family and the lower-class Parisian civilians headed by the Defarges. Love and resistance, sacrifice and revenge are wonderfully blended together, forming a tender, tragic and heart-wrenching story. French doctor Manette moved to London due to a tragic past incident. There, his beloved daughter Lucy met Charles Darnay, a tutor who was also a Parisian in France. The two young people soon fell in love. However, Sidney Carton, a young Londoner with a similar appearance to Darnay, also fell in love with Lucy and made a promise: "For you and for the people you cherish, I will do anything." A few years later, the French Revolution broke out. The wave of revolution swept over Darnay's former servants. It turns out that Darnay was a French nobleman. He hated his family's arrogance and extravagance, so he stayed away from Paris and made a living in London. He returns to Paris and rescues the servant. Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned because of his noble status. The doctor and Lucy tried every possible means to rescue Darnay, but in the end, Darnay was rescued by Caton. Carton paid the price with his life to fulfill his original promise to Lucy.
