Sinopsis
Carnegie Medal-winning author Tanya Landman returns with a brilliantly realised and truly accessible retelling of the book described as Dickens’ “most perfect” Victorian novel. My story is a long one with many strange events and dark turns. But time is short. I will be brief. In this slim volume I concentrate on five people. A dangerous criminal. An honest blacksmith. An abandoned bride. A girl who glittered like a distant star. And myself. Philip Pirrip, known as Pip, whose life was twisted and bent out of shape by all of them. Orphaned as baby, Pip is raised by his sister to live the simple life of a blacksmith’s boy. But a chance encounter in a graveyard and a visit to a ruined mansion set him on a different path. When a secret benefactor pays for him to become a gentleman, Pip’s life takes a greatly unexpected turn … In this riveting sequel, Pip, the once reluctant teen, now a gentleman, grapples with the social class differences that his new life presents. The values and virtues he learned as a blacksmith's boy are tested as he navigates through the complexities of his new world. For fans of Ravena Guron (This Book Kills), Manon Steffan Ros (Greta), Karen M. Mcmanus (Such Charming Liars), and Kiran Millwood Hargrave (The Winter Spirits). HarperCollins 2024
