Summary

"Of all my books, I like this the best." – Charles Dickens
Spanning the life of its title character from childhood to maturity, David Copperfield is Charles Dickens's most personal and deeply felt novel—a rich tapestry of hardship, hope, ambition, and resilience.

Born to a widowed mother and tormented by a cruel stepfather, David endures a youth marked by poverty, injustice, and betrayal. Along the way, he meets some of Dickens's most unforgettable characters—the ever-optimistic Mr. Micawber, the sly Uriah Heep, the gentle Agnes Wickfield, and the charming but flawed James Steerforth.

Blending humor, heartbreak, and triumph, David Copperfield is both an intimate portrait of personal growth and a sweeping commentary on Victorian society.

"A masterpiece of storytelling, filled with unforgettable characters and emotional truth."
– The Guardian

"The novel Dickens cherished most—a reflection of his own life and heart."
– The New York Times

    This  poetic book tells the story of David, a farmer born in 1960s Australia who was expected to carry on his family’s traditions on the land. We follow his life from birth to an imagined death, spanning a turbulent time when small rural communities across Australia collapsed.
 
David’s  plans are upended in the 1990s as the country suffers deregulation of the grain markets and the onset of a devastating ten-year drought. He and farmers like him have their lives forever changed, swept away by harsh economic forces and drought as family farms shut down.
 
The  book captures in verse the destruction of a cherished way of life for David, his neighbours, and rural towns. It recounts the tragedy of dreams broken when long-held farming traditions become unsustainable. By  telling one man’s story, it memorializes the wider loss of community 
and livelihood faced by farming families across Australia in recent decades.
