Havisham

This time, she will have her revenge. Amelia Havisham has a secret. She''s been underestimated for too long: by her former fiance, Compeyson; by her family; and by society. But now her true heart''s desire is within reach for the first time. And she will stop at nothing to get it. This is the story of Miss Havisham as you''ve never heard it before. And she will exceed all expectations. A thrilling and immersive historical novel, Havisham is a queer feminist reimagining in which Dickens'' most infamous female character tells her side of the story at last.
