A classic chosen for my Reading Group. I read this while in high school. So I knew the basics of the story and didn't feel driven to re-read it entirely. There is much to talk about what with the French Revolution as the backdrop. The atrocities of war, the atrocities of peace. I'm sure we'll also discuss the redemptive nature of the book, too, how the characters are changed by their circumstances.

I am really glad this is a re-read for me because I had a hard time sticking with it.
