📝ONGO's Reflection
From its opening declaration that it was the best of times and the worst of times, the book grips you utterly. Within the vast vortex of history that is the French Revolution, the fates of its characters unfold across London and Paris, leaving the heart aching. Even at the heart of a blaze of rage and vengeance fierce enough to devour the world, Sydney Carton's sublime devotion in willingly sacrificing himself bears silent witness to the value humanity must ultimately protect. In it I glimpse the holiest and most ultimate form of love.
