A few mentions of Dickens in recent or upcoming novels:

According to The Washington Post, Dickens's efforts with Urania Cottage, the home for former prostitutes, are mentioned in Charles Finch's latest detective novel, The Inheritance.
In Elan Mastai's sci-fi novel All Our Wrong Todays, due out next month, Great Expectations is mentioned several times.
Reader John Kyriacou reports that Dickens is a minor (but appealing!) character in British children's book The Girl Who Saved Christmas, by Matt Haig.
