«Mister Pip» is the novel by Lloyd Jones, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (288 pages, in French).
On a war-torn Pacific island, Matilda and her classmates immerse themselves in the adventures of Pip, Dickens's London orphan, while reading Great Expectations. Fiction offers them an alternative universe in the face of everyday violence, and literature becomes a refuge that helps them resist the harshness of the conflict.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2007, the novel also won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the Kiriyama Prize and the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards; it was originally published in 2006.
Aimed at readers of literary fiction and book clubs, with an interest in coming-of-age novels about literature in wartime.
Lloyd Jones was a Welsh poet, novelist and photographer.
