A review by karencarlson
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

 The only comments I’ve ever heard anyone make about this book refer to Miss Havisham, still wearing the wedding dress from the day she was jilted, and Estella. I got the impression this was a romance played out with overtones of class differences. Oh, it is, certainly, and the two women are central characters; but it’s so much more: a mystery, a rise-and-fall story, occasionally a comedy, and, in the last section, a thriller.
