WINNER!!!!

There was only one winner to be honest. A novel that is quite unlike any other I have ever read. One that felt fresh, exciting and down right excellent.

Historical fiction set in Dickens' London

The plot and opinion:

Have you ever imagined what happened to Estella in Great Expectations? This author has taken that idea and delved back into the gothic world of Dickens to really get under Estella’s skin. You’ll be pleased to know that the entire world of Satis House is evoked with such clarity that I thought the author had somehow climbed into Dickens’ head. THIS is definitely her unique creation though – an imagining of what became of Estella, Pip and Miss Havisham.

I GOBBLED this up. You don’t need to have read Great Expectations to understand this, but you will most certainly will get a much greater appreciation of it if you do.
