Charles and Catherine Dickens were never divorced; at the time, divorce literally took an act of Parliament and the cost was exorbitant.
They separated in 1858, possibly as a result of Dickens's having met actress Ellen Ternan. Charles and Catherine lived in separate households until his death in 1870.
Charles Dickens married Catherine Thomson Hogarth on April 2, 1836. She was born in Scotland and moved with her family to England in 1834. Her father, George Hogarth, was the editor of the Evening Chronicle where Dickens was a journalist. After the birth of their ten children, and the death of their daughter Dora at eight months, Catherine suffered a nervous breakdown. In 1858, Charles and Catherine separated, a situation that was acrimonious and much publicized, and split the family into two camps. Catherine remained separated from her husband until her death in 1879.

In April of 1837, Dickens married Catherine Hogarth. The following year, the first of their ten children was born. In June of 1858, they legally separated and Dickens moved to Gads Hill, a home he had loved since childhood. It's conjectured that Dickens was dissatisfied with having to support so many children (many of them spendthrifts and spongers, like his parents) and he implied that Catherine never had been his intellectual equal. He was also impatient with Catherine's lack of energy and general malaise; after 10 children, she can hardly be blamed. Catherine mourned the marriage for the rest of her life, a full 20 years after the separation.

It's hard to say which of Dickens' books is best, since much depends on personal preference, knowledge of critical techniques, etc. G.K. Chesterton has written reviews of Dickens' novels and the web site containing it is attached. Best known among his works are probably A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol,and Oliver Twist.
