Jones, Lloyd. Mister Pip. 478-0-385-34106-6 (2007).
“Fairy tale”-like coming of age story. South seas childhood, modern political violence, colonial racial understandings, Dickens, Great Expectations, loss of family, search for self, reality that all of life is a performance which doesn’t take away from its significance. An incredible creation of place with a story compelling enough to get you lost in the moment, and oh yeah, thats part of its magic and commentary. Definitely worth it.
Thoughts:
• Read the Dickens Catalogue, beginning with Great Expectations.
