About the Book: Charles Dickens’s classic coming-of-age novel follows Pip, an orphan whose life is transformed after a mysterious encounter with an escaped convict and a chance connection with the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham and her ward Estella. When Pip receives a secret fortune and moves to London to become a gentleman, he discovers that wealth and social status do not guarantee happiness. Through love, ambition, guilt, and self-discovery, Dickens explores identity, class, and the true meaning of generosity and personal growth.
