Reading this book was compulsory as a freshman in high school. I donโt recall anything about Miss Haversham being an opium user. Did I miss this? And I thought Estella was supposed to be a beautiful young lady. The actress portraying the role was pretty but she was made to look dull and somewhat shabby. If anything, I want to reread this book again. I mean, it was 55 years ago when I first had to read it. Iโm not real fond of revisionist writing. Hmmm.
