About this Event
Great Expectations meets Killing Eve.
Dubbed ‘gloriously Gothic’ (Daily Mail), Estella’s Revenge reimagines the story of Charles Dickens’ Miss Havisham - the world’s most famous jilted bride. Long fascinated with Miss Havisham’s daughter, Estella, Barbara asks the question: What kind of emotionally-scarred adult would Estella become?
A journalist, Barbara has interviewed victims and perpetrators of crime, which informs her fiction. Estella’s Revenge is the first in her new historical thriller series; she has written six bestselling psychological thrillers under her real name, Barbara Copperthwaite.
Who better than to darkly explore the matter than Dicken’s great, great, great granddaughter herself – author, art historian and broadcaster, Lucinda Hawksley. For the past decade, Lucinda has been a Patron of the Charles Dickens Museum. Her books include Victorian Christmas, Dickens and Travel, and Charles Dickens and his Circle.
