Charles Dickens's classic story set during the French Revolution tells of one people at a singular time. Yet today's international rally of the indebted 99% can still find echoes of their plight in A Tale of Two Cities, now some 150 years old. Literary Commentator Gwenyfar tells us why.

Gwenyfar Rohler (a/k/a Gwenyfar) is following in her father's footsteps as a writer: she is the author of two books: Your Health is in Your Kitchen and The Promise of Peanuts. She also writes the Live Local. Live Small Column in our Alternative Weekly, Encore (www.Encorepub.com). You will find her most days at the Book Store where she is slowly cataloging the inventory. She loves to read play scripts, mid 20 th century fiction, and the classics.
