Pip is a poor orphan, a boy with "no expectations" being raised by his
unkind sister and her husband in a small home on the marshes of Kent.
But when Pip meets the bizarre Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward,
Estella, he starts to yearn for a life as a gentleman. However, Pip will
discover that wealth and honesty do not go hand in hand, and that
kindness can be found in the most surprising places.
A love story, a mystery, and a sharp critique of upper-class English
society, Great Expectations remains one of Dickens's best-regarded
works.
