Charles Dickens 
Our mutual friend 

Our Mutual Friend (written in the years 186465) is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining psychological insight with social analysis. It centres on, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, ‘money, money, money, and what money can make of life’, but is also about human values. In the opening chapters a body is found in the Thames and identified as that of John Harmon.Charles Dickens – Our Mutual Friend (written in the years 186465) is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining psychological insight with social analysis.
