There was a delicate tracery of gold foil on the back of the dress. How strange that such a consummately made garment should be worn for this one day only. But, as every girl growing up understood, her wedding day was the most significant she would know: a woman's crowning glory. Catherine Havisham was born into privilege.

i have really mixed feelings about this because i really loved the writing it was a really engaging read it was a very quick read actually and the writing is sort of quite sparse and stream of consciousness but always quite clear in a way that i really enjoyed however i just don't really see what this added to great expectations

Elle MachrayCharlotte Havisham has a secret. She's been underestimated for too long: by her former fiancé, Compeyson; by her family; and by society. But now her true heart's desire is within reach for the first time. And she will stop at nothing to get it. This is the story of Miss Havisham as you've never heard it before. And she will exceed all expectations. A thrilling and immersive historical novel, Havisham is a queer feminist reimagining in which Dickens' most infamous female character tells her side of the story at last.
