Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_Edwin_Drood
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" by Charles Dickens is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mysterious events surrounding the character Edwin Drood, whose disappearance becomes central to the plot, intertwining themes of love, betrayal, and moral complexities with a cast of intriguing characters, including his uncle Jasper, a choir master, and Rosa Bud, his fiancée. The beginning of the novel establishes a dark and atmospheric setting, focusing on the character of John Jasper, who awakens in a state of confusion and dread within a dingy room. The interactions among Jasper, a haggard woman, and others highlight his troubled state and hint at opium use. The narrative then transitions to Edwin Drood as he interacts with various figures in Cloisterham, particularly Rosa, with whom he has an awkwardly playful conversation about their engagement. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale filled with secrets and ambiguity, as Jasper's obscure motivations and the dynamics of relationships will likely play a crucial role as the story unfolds.
