The Booker finalist and beloved novel that has taken the world by storm is now a major motion picture starring Hugh Laurie. Thirteen-year-old Matilda lives on a copper-rich tropical island that has been shattered by war, from which the teachers have fled along with everyone else. Only one white man chooses to stay behind, the eccentric Mr. Watts, object of much curiosity and scorn. He sweeps out the ruined schoolhouse and steps in to teach the children when there is no one else, and his only lessons consist of reading from his battered copy of Great Expectations, a book by his friend Mr. Dickens. First the children, and the entire village, are riveted by the adventures of a young orphan named Pip, their imaginations aflame with dreams of Dickens’s London and the larger world. But in a ravaged place where even children are forced to live by their wits and daily survival is the only objective, imagination– it turns out– is a dangerous thing.
