What happened to those children is the fascinating subject of Robert Gottlieb's \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e. With sympathy and understanding he narrates the highly various and surprising stories of each of Dickens's sons and daughters, from Kate, who became a successful artist, to Frank, who died in Moline, Illinois, after serving a grim stretch in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these lives is fascinating on its own. Together they comprise a unique window on Victorian England as well as a moving and disturbing study of Dickens as a father and as a man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166002954480,"sku":"9781466827769","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466827769_p0.jpg?v=1769891092","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466827769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
