Alison Larkin
Best-selling novelist and award-winning audiobook narrator Alison Larkin changes the gender of Dicken’s most famous character in this dazzling new recording of Great Expectations.
It's still the same thrilling story of youthful innocence, unexpected escape from cruel poverty, an old woman jilted at the altar, a beautiful, haughty, damaged young woman, and a mysterious financial gift that transforms the life of a young person. But one thing has changed. In this version, Pip is a woman.
In this world, it is completely normal for a girl to learn to read and kiss another girl and be able to walk into a tavern without being molested or start a promising career thanks to a mysterious financial donation.
It's an irresistible question. If gender had been simply irrelevant in the 19th century, where would we all be now?
"A novel rich in imagination, detail, and surprises requires a narrator who can embrace every element of the story - Alison Larkin is that narrator." (Audiofile Magazine)
"Alison Larkin is hugely entertaining." (The Times)

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Alison Larkin serves double duty as adapter and narrator of this reimagining of Great Expectations. Larkin creates a world in which the iconic orphan Pip is female, but her story of ongoing dramatic reversals in fortune and love remains otherwise the same. The production magnifies the significance of the adaptation by firmly conjuring the image of a young woman making her way in the world. Larkin's young Pip has a delicate voice, which becomes noticeably stronger as Pip grows into herself. Larkin's portrayal of Miss Havisham is appropriately brooding and histrionic, while Estella, Pip's unrequited love, is exquisitely cold in tone. Every character in the vast story has a distinct voice or accent, and Larkin throws herself into the performance without restraint." (AudioFile)
It's a fascinating experiment. The fact that Pip was a woman didn't take me out of the story at all - it just didn't MATTER that she was a girl.
I loved this and recommend it highly to anyone wanting to listen to a superbly narrated Dickens novel. I'm still thinking about it days after listening. It's a timely adaptation too - fresh and original. Well done!
