That's a gorgeous view and a spectacular photo.

But, like, which Dickens novel is the aspirational one? Admittedly I've only read four of them (and it was a long time ago) but I don't remember a desire to live in any of them.

@LaCrecerelle @kims A Christmas Carol perhaps. This BBC story provides an intersecting perspective on how & why Dickens created the myth of a white Christmas in Britain.

@kims @LaCrecerelle I’ve always thought Great Expectations would be fun to live in, as an unnamed, background character. So many interesting (and bizarre!) people in that one!

I loved Bleak House, but I hated GE so much, I could barely make it through the Cliff Notes. Just the words Pip and Miss Havisham give me a shudder, but maybe I should give it another try.
