具體描述
In "Great Expectation," Dan Roche gives a man's perspective on what it means to start and expand a family relatively later in life. Through a series of diary entries in turns humorous, angst ridden, and full of hope and joy, Roche describes his own thoughts and concerns during the nine months of his wife's pregnancy. With five years of parenting his irrepressible daughter Maeve under his belt, Roche, already forty-five years old, and his wife, Maura, face the prospect of another arrival and the myriad of emotions that come with a second child. From revelling in the joys of pregnancy such as Maura's delight at "having cleavage" and being able to eat whatever she desires; to assuaging the parental anxieties of choosing the right obstetrician, correcting the mistakes one made with the first child, and sending children to college in the future; to navigating the unforeseen, experiencing the unexpected death of a parent, and feeling trepidation toward the thought of having a son, Roche records his emotions with unusual candidness and intimacy. Reflecting on day-to-day events and their significance in his family's life together, Roche wonders what he is getting himself into and how much deeper he can immerse himself into parenting. Together, he and his wife face the bittersweet intersections of death and new life, menace and hopefulness. With sincerity and a mature wit, "Great Expectation" stands as a wise recounting of nine months' time, with all of its chaos and charms, and offers a fresh perspective for first-time and veteran parents alike.

评分看原文纔感覺這個故事的角色都不完美
评分與中文版不同，原著結局更加淒涼，匹普和艾絲黛拉的美好青春已經在郝薇香極端自私褊狹的報復計劃中遭到摧殘。狄更斯沒有讓兩個年輕人結閤，而是讓他們天各一方。當飽經滄桑的匹普從海外歸來，與孀居的艾絲黛拉再次重逢時，已經是十多年之後瞭，縱然在漸漸消散的晨霧中，兩個人手拉著手，一同走齣老屋的那一片廢墟，但兩個人身上都留下瞭往日痛苦經曆的烙印，那種痕跡任多少時間也無法完全褪去，生活的殘酷性無法迴避。
