«Mister Pip» is Lloyd Jones's novel, published by Penguin in paperback (220 pages, in English).
On a Pacific island ravaged by war, teacher Mr. Watts reads Charles Dickens's «Grandes esperanzas» to the children. Matilda identifies with Pip and finds in reading a refuge from violence. But in a world where survival rules, imagination can have devastating consequences.
Originally published in 2006, it won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize 2007 and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2007.
For readers of historical fiction and young adult narrative, with an interest in stories about the power of literature in wartime contexts.
