    Summary:

    The byzantine legal suit of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce forms the backbone of this intricate, richly populated novel, which so effectively satirizes the Chancery court system that it helped spur English legal reforms. A dark secret, a cold-blooded murder and spontaneous human combustion are, frankly, not even the most exciting parts.
