Winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and shortlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize.
On the island of Bougainville, torn apart by civil war, thirteen-year-old Matilda finds an unexpected escape when Mr. Watts reopens the village school. With no teaching experience and few resources, he begins reading Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations aloud to the children.
For Matilda, the story opens a door into another world. Pip becomes a companion whose struggles help her make sense of her own uncertain life. But as violence closes in, the boundary between imagination and reality takes on dangerous consequences.
Moving and confronting, Mister Pip explores the power of stories, the complexities of faith and loyalty, and what we carry with us when everything familiar is threatened.
