We’re two months into the Les Misérables Chapter-a-Day Read-along, eight full weeks. We’re still in Volume One: Fantine, and this week we finished Book Five: The Descent, we read Book Six: Javert, and we began Book Seven: The Champmathieu Affair.

Here are a few examples what people had to say about these chapters on Twitter:

Great grief is a divine and terrible radiance which transfigures the wretched. At that moment Fantine had again become beautiful.
