The Battle of Life is a timeless tale of love, self-sacrifice, and sisterly devotion. Marion and Grace are sisters and best friends, living with their widowed father in eighteenth-century England. Marion is engaged to a medical student, Alfred Heathfield, who leaves to finish his studies. In the meantime she is being pursued by the rakish Michael Warden. Much to the consternation of Clemency, the family's faithful servant, Marion seems to be forming a secret attachment to Michael. Would she really throw away her fiancé's love, as well as her own respectability, to run off with such a man? One of Charles Dickens' famous 'Christmas Books', The Battle of Life is filled with the compassion and poignancy which characterizes this much-loved author's works.

Dickens Amazes Again,
By Jennifer (East Liverpool, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Battle of Life (CD-ROM)
This book is very good. I especially liked the boy's name, "Britain". I reccommend this to any fan of Charles Dickens. And if you aren't a fan of Charles Dickens, chances are you'll still like it.
