What you need to know before your trail

She knows she doesn’t feel things quite like other people do but is this just the result of her strange upbringing?
As she watches the brutal treatment of women around her, hatred hardens into a core of vengeance and when she finds herself married to the abusive Drummle, she is forced to make a deadly choice:
Should she embrace the darkness within her and exact her revenge?

Travel Guide
London and Paris
The locations are fictional as Satis House is the main one and this was of course just in the book by Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens is from the city and so the places associated with him are on the map.
Satis House is in Kent near the marshes ( if you have read Great Expectations, you will remember the importance of the marshes in the story). The house on the map – Restoration House, is one that Charles Dickens used to walk past on his daily walks. He based Satis House on this very building. Just look at the facade and the huge gate – you can just imagine Miss Haversham and Estella there!
