An odd title for a book, but then the main character feels her life is in extricably entwined with that of the figure in Great Expectations bearing that name. An unusual book, horrific in places but ultimately quite poignant, and certainly a novel that got me thinking.

The author Lloyd Jones gives no impression he is a Christian and yet there are those he writes about who stand up for what they believe in and do pay the ultimate price.

Favourite quote from the book:
“A house without God is an empty house waiting for the devil to move in.”
