About this listen

In this timeless classic, we follow the journey of Pip, an orphan whose life takes unexpected turns as he navigates the complexities of wealth and social status. From humble beginnings as a blacksmiths apprentice under the watchful eye of Joe to the allure of becoming a gentleman fueled by the promise of a mysterious inheritance, Pips aspirations shape his identity. As he indulges in a lavish lifestyle, he distances himself from the genuine connections of his past, including the steadfast Joe and the wise Biddy. His misguided attempts to uplift his friend Herbert and win the heart of the unattainable ice princess lead to inevitable heartache. When a figure from his past—a convict he once helped—returns, Pips dreams begin to unravel, forcing him to confront the true cost of his ambitions. (Narration by Mark F. Smith)
