A tale of two cities is a masterpiece IMO. The ending still gets to me even after a number of times. Such sacrifice by Sydney Carton...This novel and Les Miserables are the only novels set in the backdrop of a French rebellion that I like. Les Miserables doesn't use the French Revolution as the backdrop, but I still enjoy how Victor Hugo integrates moral philosophy, love, politics, and religion in the midst of a student rebellion.
