Great Expectations (Charles Dickens)
[Easton Press]

Great Expectations follows Pip, an orphan who unexpectedly receives financial support from an unknown benefactor and moves from a humble village to the world of London gentility. As he pursues the aloof Estella and struggles with shame about his origins, he learns painful truths about loyalty, gratitude, and the sources of true worth. Dickens crafts a coming of age story that critiques class snobbery while affirming the value of kindness and moral growth.
