Synopsis
"His novels will stand the test of time as long as the language itself" Peter Ackroyd. Dickens's haunting late novel portrays the education and progression of a young man, Pip, as his life is transformed by a sequence of incidents - a scary encounter with an escaped convict in a cemetery on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the abrupt generosity of a secret benefactor - and he uncovers the genuine nature of his "great expectations".
