Great expectations
(Book)
Description
A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor--these form a series of events that change the orphan Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman.
