Mr. Pip
As a battle rages in the Bougainville province of Papua-New Guinea, a young girl is captivated by the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, which is being read at school by the only white man in the area. In 1991, the South Pacific island of Bougainville was torn apart by a battle over a copper mine. Hugh Laurie's "Popeye" gives Charles Dickens' Great Expectations as an escape to the children in Matilda's fourteen-year-old village. However, on a war-torn island, fiction might have dangerous implications.
