En savoir plus sur le livre
Pip and Estella is a sequel to Great Expectations continuing themes of shame, guilt, love, religion, war, murder and the wealth gap, developed within historical events and a quasi-feminist stance. Pip becomes a lawyer recruited by Jaggers, whose Will creates a Trust for the Relief and Education of the Poor. Estella is dramatically reconciled with her natural mother Molly, Jaggers' servant. Estella confronts Miss Havisham's legacy with Molly's help, exposing Estella's passionate love for Pip, and they marry after his first wife's death in childbirth. Pip's namesake 'Young' Pip is converted to Primitive Methodism and is wounded in the Crimean War. Equally varied are the fortunes of Dickens' other central characters (Mr. Jaggers, Joe and Biddy Gargery, John Wemmick) and such new characters as Beatrice Pocket 'Old' Pip's first wife; Susanna Urchadan, Young Pip's wife, and Hamish Macdonald, a new young lawyer.
