Title: Great Expectations
Author: Charles Dickens
Date: April 21, 2014
Location: Open Book
Host: Lois and Gail
From the Amazon book description: "In what may be Dickens's best novel, humble, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman -- and one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In this gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, the compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride."
Since we always read different editions of classics, this is bound to be an exhilarating and potentially confusing club discussion.
Come prepared to suggest books for May, June and July.
