Based on the beloved Radio 4 series, BLEAK EXPECTATIONS recounts the remarkable adventures of young Pip Bin as he tries to make his way in a world made all horrible by the machinations of his cruel guardian, Mr Gently Benevolent.
Grim circumstances, mistaken identities, nightmarish court-cases, ridiculous names, convenient coincidences to resolve plot problems, over-sentimental death scenes and lots and lots of adjectives: Bleak Expectations is a novel like Charles Dickens might have written after far too much gin.

Deliciously irreverent spoof of all things Victorian and melodramatic....Evans keeps the gag rate high.
The funniest book since the one I haven't written yet. Mark Evans sets the bar annoyingly high.
A brilliant Dickens pastiche.
