Before A Christmas Carol there was… Miss Marley

A seasonal tale of kindness and goodwill

Orphans Clara and Jacob Marley live by their wits, scavenging for scraps in the poorest alleyways of London, in the shadow of the workhouse. Every night, Jake promises his little sister ‘tomorrow will be better’ and when the chance to escape poverty comes their way, he seizes it despite the terrible price.

And so Jacob Marley is set on a path that leads to his infamous partnership with Ebenezer Scrooge. As Jacob builds a fortress of wealth to keep the world out, only Clara can warn him of the hideous fate that awaits him if he refuses to let love and kindness into his heart…

In Miss Marley, Vanessa Lafaye weaves a spellbinding Dickensian tale of ghosts, goodwill and hope – a perfect prequel to A Christmas Carol.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Exquisite." (Veronica Henry, author of A Night on the Orient Express)

"A charming, finely detailed and beautifully written jaunt through Dickens’ London - a tale of heartbreak, love, kindness, and avarice. With Lafaye at her finest it’s seamlessly finished by Mascull; this book is a total, total joy." (Fionnuala Kearney, author of You, Me and Other People)

"A moving companion piece to the classic A Christmas Carol, with all the traditional echoes of the Dickensian festive season woven through, and with tragedy and joy in equal measure. A delight." (Essie Fox, author of The Somnambulist)

I found this to be a pretty depressing story and had very little to do with kindness and goodwill, it was the opposite, really. A lesson in how NOT to be. I love that time period and it was a well written story but too sad for me.

Kindness and goodwill?

I really liked this book, it was a great story and perfect to listen to before the holidays. I definitely will add it to my Christmas collection and listen to it every year. If I had one minor complaint, I would have loved it to be longer and go in to more details about Marley and his sister's early life, their parents (and uncle) and the situation that brought them to their downfall. And also (*possible spoiler alert*) much more towards the end of the book about the people Marley affected and the paths their lives took. But overall I highly recommend this book for Christmas. It is a perfect companion to A Christmas Carol, and I really enjoyed it. Also the performance was flawless, and the narrators voice was perfect for the story.

Perfect Christmas read

Really enjoyed it. Was looking for something Christmas themed that wasn’t cheesy. This fit the bill perfectly. Nicely narrated and solid story. Will enjoy it again this time next year.

Great story, perfect length
