Thanks for the review, Titania. It makes me realise what an odd and complex story it is (and what beautiful, witty writing).
Oddly, I've never read anything by Dickens. It must have been all those sugary versions of David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol when I was a child, but I've always been put off. I must admit, though, the more snippets of his prose I read, and the more top class adaptations I see, the more tempted I am.
I think I might put Great Expectations on my reading list (or Hard Times, Bleak House, or Little Dorrit, or maybe all four
).
