The Library After Dark

Food History

Our Mutual Friend

by Charles Dickens

Dickens’s last finished novel, of 1864 and 1865, opens at a dinner given by the Veneerings, new people in a new house, for guests they hardly know. Their dinners come round again and again, and the company at that table is satire at its sharpest. The river and its dead are the other half of the book.
