The Parts I Liked

Sarah asked which parts made me have trouble putting the book down.  It's been quite awhile since I've read it, but what I remember is that almost all the parts in France were page turners: the whole backstory of Charles Darnay/St. Evremonde, the man locked in the tower, the knitting woman.  I loved that woman!  Loved to hate her, loved her sly trick.  How is it that I never had heard about this knitting trick?  Surely that should be one of THE moments in literature that should be known by all.

All of this makes me realize that since all the parts I liked were taking place in Paris, maybe that's why I felt like it was really only a tale of One City.  Only one city's tale intrigued me.  That whole part about the identical looking men, and the body-snatcher guy with a son.  Ugh.
