Miss Marley: The Untold Story of Jacob Marley's Sister by Vanessa Lafaye

5.0

What a joy it was to enter this very familiar story at an earlier time. It felt so right on the money as a prequel to one of the most beloved stories ever. Rebecca Mascull finished the story started by Vanessa Lafaye seamlessly. There was so much joy in this book, it was hard to remember its unavoidable ending. But Jacob Marley’s earlier life explained exactly the character we meet so briefly in Dickens’ novel. Just as the end of A Christmas Carol leaves me in tears every year, so did Miss Marley. This was a story that needed to be told.
