This week, we finally conclude Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. How is the world restored to order? How are the good rewarded and the evil punished? What does it mean to be a good person in Dickens’ world, and who gets to live happily ever after?
Next week: Binti, the first novella in Binti: The Complete Trilogy!
