Description
Charley Bates was an outsider in Fagin's gang. He eventually turned himself into 'the merriest young grazier in Northamptonshire.' However, his past continued to haunt him. A chance to bring justice to bear on a villain from his past, Monks, the half-brother of Oliver Twist, presented itself. This journey would take Charley from the Thames to the Mississippi and require help from old friends. Field Lane is set in a 19th century world filled with social injustice, slavery, drug abuse and Royal privilege. The novel's fictional characters become intertwined with real-life historical figures such as the Duchess of Kent and Michael Faraday. At its climax, justice is indeed served, but by whom? The story reflects Dickens' wish for retribution in line with his vision.
