A white man had given us the name of our island. Mister Pip is definitely a story that needs to be read slowly and savoured as you take this journey. How Great Expectations brought Dickens' London to the South Pacific, fairy-tale style. Author Lloyd Jones obviously enjoys Charles Dickens and the novel Great Expectations in particular.

Sometimes we caught a snatch of conversation. Us older kids sensed a bigger story. New Zealand novelist Lloyd Jones's Mister Pip tells the story of Matilda, a young girl whose South Pacific island is in the midst of brutal conflict during the 1990s.
