Book summary

In the little town of Cloisterham, in the shadow of its cathedral, young Edwin Drood is to marry Rosa Bud, a bride chosen for him since childhood. His uncle, John Jasper, the choirmaster, seems to love him dearly, but he secretly smokes opium and hides a passion for Rosa. One Christmas night, Edwin disappears.

Dickens died before finishing this novel, without leaving the solution. For more than a hundred and fifty years, readers have been trying to guess what happened to Edwin.

Full of suspense, this novel is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
