Current book – Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Thursday, April 16th at 10:30AM/ET
Great Expectations tells the story of orphan Pip’s life as it is transformed by a vast, mysterious inheritance. A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decrepit Miss Havisham and her beautiful, ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor – these events change Pip’s life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble station as an apprentice to blacksmith Joe Gargery, beginning a new life as a gentleman. A love story, a mystery, and a sharp critique of upper-class English society, Great Expectations remains one of Dickens’s best-regarded works.
