Dombey and Son
Charles Dickens Audio Book

To Paul Dombey, business and money are everything. He runs his family as he runs his firm: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person he cares for is his little son, while his motherless daughter Florence craves affection from her unloving father, who sees her only as a ‘base coin that couldn’t be invested’.

As Dombey’s callousness extends to others – from his defiant second wife Edith, to Florence’s admirer Walter Gay – he sows the seeds of his own destruction.

Can this heartless businessman be redeemed?
