Description

On June 9, 1865, while travelling by train to London together with his secret mistress, 53-year-old Charles Dickens--in the peak of his powers and popularity, the absolute most well-known and successful author in the world and possibly in the real history of the world--hurtled right into a catastrophe that transformed his life forever.  Did Dickens start living a dim dual life following the incident?
