Added 3/1/11. I didn't read the book but in November of 2010 I watched a DVD of the 2008 TV mini-series (which I borrowed from our public library). Below are the IMDb and Netflix links: 2008 version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1178522/ http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Mas... 1988 version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095530/ http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Lit... Plot summaries from IMDb: 2008: The series tells the story of Amy Dorrit, who spends her days earning money for the family and looking after her proud father, who is a long term inmate of Marshalsea debtors' prison in London. Amy and her family's world is transformed when her boss's son, Arthur Clennam, returns from overseas to solve his family's mysterious legacy and discovers that their lives are interlinked." FROM: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1178522/p... 1988: "Arthur Clennam returns to London after working abroad for many years with his now deceased father. Almost at once he becomes involved in the problems of his mother's seamstress Amy Dorrit and of her father residing in the Marshalsea debtors' prison. Pursuing their cause Arthur comes across a successful business opportunity and also gains a number of new acquaintances, while his and Amy's paths continue to cross.
