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

A very poignant story, given that Vanessa (a friend of mine) didn't manage to finish this novel before she died. Becca Mascull skillfully finished it for her, and I'm so glad she did. It imagines the story of Clara Marley - the sister of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol by Dickens. Lafaye and Mascull vividly conjure up Dickensian London, complete with the poor, the rich, and the greedy. A wonderful novel for Christmas.
