4.0
A good solid 4.
This is a very well written, new take on Estella's story, although it has "meet points" with Dicken's original it gives a new voice to Estella. It tells what the author believes is her story in often graphic detail, something Dicken's would not have been able to do.
This was often a gripping read, as the characters were so well drawn I was caught up in their lives.
With thanks to the author and the Pigeonhole for the opportunity.
