A retelling for students of English of one of Dickens's classic novels, this English Language Teaching (ELT/ESL) eBook is an upper intermediate-level Macmillan Reader. '"Your mother, Esther, was your disgrace and you are hers."' These words were Esther's earliest memory. But who was Esther's mother? And what was the disgrace? And why did the ghost walk at Chesney Wold? Three young people meet for the first time in the High Court of Chancery. They are the latest victims to be caught up in the court case of Jarndyce versus Jarndyce.
