Review | ‘Great Expectations: The Sons and Daughters of Charles Dickens’ by Robert Gottlieb, rev. by Hillary Kelly

»Robert Gottlieb’s Great Expectations: The Sons and Daughters of Charles Dickens takes quick, bite-sized looks at the author’s 10 children, dividing each life into a “before” and “after” section, with their father’s death as the line of demarcation. Such a structure evinces the book’s prominent — if misguided — theme that Dickens was far more central to his children’s lives than they were to his.«
