About Great Expectations
Young Pip meets an escaped convict in a graveyard, then years later becomes a gentleman through an anonymous benefactor. The most psychologically rich of Dickens’s novels.
Why it works as an audiobook
First-person narration plus Dickens’s cadenced prose — written for serialization to be read aloud weekly to Victorian families — is exactly the format that makes a great audiobook.
