Title: Havisham
Description: Catherine Havisham was born into privilege. Handsome, imperious, she is the daughter of a wealthy brewer, and lives in luxury in Satis House. But she is never far from the smell of hops and the arresting letters on the brewhouse wall -- Havisham. A reminder of all she owes to the family name and the family business.
