Little Dorrit

An Apple Books Classic edition.

A sweeping love story wrapped around one of Charles Dickens’ sharpest social critiques, Little Dorrit exposes a world where poverty and pride can imprison anyone.

Amy Dorrit has spent her entire life in a debtors’ prison, where families are punished for being unable to pay their bills. She’s working tirelessly to support her disgraced father when she crosses paths with Arthur Clennam, a man with questions about his own family’s past. Soon, Amy’s courage inspires him to stand against the systemic cruelty that’s long kept her trapped.

Here, Dickens exposes a society that confuses wealth with worth. Compassionate and scathingly satirical, Little Dorrit stands among his most fearless works. It’s a powerful story of freedom, dignity, and a love that refuses to give up hope.
