I've been playing a lot of the Tiny Bookshop video game lately, and every time this book turns up, I am baffled by the description: "A comedic romance set amid the smoggy circus of mid-19th-century industrial society."
I have not read the book but I did watch one of the adaptations (probably a BBC one) with my mum years ago - we both love Charles Dickens stories but found Hard Times so unbelievably miserable that we haven't watched it since.
Can someone who's read the book tell me if it is as miserable as I remember or if you would happily classify it as a 'comedic romance'? I am genuinely curious because I think about it every time I play the game.
