For as long as I can remember, A Christmas Carol has been one of my favourite festive stories, so when I saw that @hqstories were publishing a prequel written by the late Vanessa Lafaye I was beside myself with excitement.
The story of Jacob & Clara Marley is told in three parts; the beginning, the middle, & the end; & each part is as wonderfully written & as captivating as the last.
The author, Vanessa Lafaye wrote 9 of the 12 chapters before her passing earlier this year. The final chapters were written by her friend, Rebecca Mascull, & without the disclosure in the author's notes, I never would have realised where the transition took place. The change is flawless.
I honestly loved this book & I am already planning to read it again when I read A Christmas Carol in late December.
Thank you @hqstories for sending me this free book!
