Review

"He's a marvellous writer... He's very, very good" (William Trevor)

"A story of the traumas of sex and class. My favourite moment is the one where Magwitch makes his stumbling way up the shadowy staircase towards an unnerved but unsuspecting Pip: the halting but inexorable rise of the repressed 'from the darkness beneath'" (Sarah Waters)

"The defects in [Great Expectations] are as nearly imperceptible as spots on the sun or shadows on a sunlit sea" (Algernon Charles Swinburne)

"I would always prefer to go get another Dickens off the shelf than pick up a new book by someone I've not read yet... I love the tradition of Dickens, where even the most minor walk-on characters are twitching and particular and alive" (Donna Tartt)

From the Publisher
