DOMBEY AND SON....Charles Dickens’s story of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author’s gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. 880 Pages in print.
When wealthy capitalist Dombey finally gets the son he needs to fullfil the requirement of his titular business he also loses his wife. A proud and cold man he continues to shun his daughter Florence in favour of his new heir. But will Son grow to be everything his father wants?
The main protagonist, Florence Dombey is an amazing woman, full of strength and character which guides her through some incredibly miserable years. Some of the characters that Dickens develops during the course of this novel are some of the most heinously evil or sad, or full of goodness and love, or are just plain funny. There's a powerful message about the influence of "wealth", not just money, on the individual, as well as family and friends.
over 1,000 pages in the book-format, Dombey and Son is Dickens’ longest novel. The son in the title is actually a daughter, which is what originally piqued my interest. There are two strong women in Dombey and Son---Florence, the daughter Dombey barely acknowledges and will not love, and Edith, his much-deserved cold and proud second wife. The stories of old man Dombey and the two women plus the various other intertwining stories and characters make for the kind of reading you would expect from Dickens---complicated, entertaining and eventful. A lot can happen—and does---in one thousand pages. None of it is dull.
