Features & Highlights

  • Amy Dorrit’s father is not very good with money. She was born in the Marshalsea debtors’ prison and has lived there with her family for all of her 22 years, only leaving during the day to work as a seamstress for the forbidding Mrs. Clennam. But Amy’s fortunes are about to change—the arrival of Mrs. Clennam’s son Arthur, back from working in China, heralds the beginning of stunning revelations not just about Amy but also about Arthur himself.

Review of publishing quality

The story and book are very good. I am reviewing the quality of the publisher. This Vintage edition is not great. The print is very small (I realize it has to be smaller because the book is so long), but the text has about a one inch margin on each side. The other Vintage paperbacks I have have smaller margins and larger text. Also, even though the margin is large, I will still have to crack the spine to be able to read the center portion of the book. I think maybe they should have had a slightly larger page. I prefer Penguin publishers to this one. I wish they would publish books of this length in separate parts.
