Our Mutual Friend is a novel written by the English author Charles Dickens that satirizes greed and attacks the false values of the newly rich. Dickens uses the image of the great rubbish dumps of London to symbolize "filthy money." Our Mutual Friend was published in monthly installments during 1864 and 1865, and appeared in one volume in 1865. It was Dickens's final complete novel. See Dickens, Charles.
