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

3.0

A short quick read in which we learn the back story to Jacob Marley. Basically a twist of bad luck left Jacob and his sister poor and orphaned. By dint of their own hard work they rose up and he ultimately formed a business partnership with Ebenezer Scrooge. While their experience with poverty made Clara Marley sympathetic it made Jacob hard and judgmental. Ultimately her fiancé and later her die. As a ghost she visits her brother and tries to show him the error of his ways but to no avail. This wasn’t a bad read, but it isn’t one that will leave any lasting impression on me either.
