Charles Dickens (1812-1870) musste früh lernen, auf eigenen Füßen zu stehen. Er war zwölf Jahre, als sein Vater wegen der unbeglichenen Schuld von 40 Pfund ins Schuldgefängnis eingeliefert wurde. Dickens wurde von der Familie getrennt und musste durch Arbeit in einer Fabrik selbst für seinen Unterhalt sorgen. In einem solchen Schuldgefängnis wird die Heldin dieses wohl düstersten Romans von Charles Dickens geboren, und sie wächst dort auch auf. Kann es Amy Dorrit gelingen, sich aus den Fesseln dieser Herkunft zu befreien, den fatalen Geruch von Armut und Hoffnungslosigkeit los zu werden?

Am Ende des ersten Bandes von Dickens' "Klein Dorrit" erbt der alte Dorrit, der fast sein ganzes Leben im Schuldgefängnis verbracht hat, gänzlich unvermutet ein beträchtliches Vermögen. Er schwimmt plötzlich in Geld (das Klein Dorrits Geschwister mit vollen Händen ausgeben). Ein wahrer Geldsegen, so scheint es. Aber wird wirklich Segen auf diesem Geld liegen?

Devilishly charming. Controlling, possessive, and dangerous. Especially when it came to me. His little dove. And heaven help anyone who tried to free me from my gilded cage.
