Charlotte Havisham has a secret.
She's been underestimated for too long: by her former fiancé, Compeyson; by her family; and by society.
But now her true heart's desire is within reach for the first time. And she will stop at nothing to get it.
This is the story of Miss Havisham as you've never heard it before.
And she will exceed all expectations.
A thrilling and immersive historical novel, Havisham is a queer feminist reimagining in which Dickens' most infamous female character tells her side of the story at last.
Elle Machray grew up in Birmingham to Welsh–Caribbean and Scottish parents. After graduating from the HarperCollins Author Academy in spring 2021, their debut novel Remember, Remember was longlisted for the Mslexia Novel Prize, judged by Hilary Mantel.
In the fleeting moments between writing and working, you can find Elle on social media talking about neurodivergence, books and a never-ending quest to relax.
