Nostalgic and endearing. Samantha Silva reimagines the inspiration for Dickens’ famed Christmas Carol. In her vision, Scrooge might not have been just a miserly figment of Dickens’ imagination. As the holidays approach, we see Dickens under pressure, tormented by a tribe of his own dependents, and the lesson to be learned is his own. Just as A Christmas Carol leaves you uplifted in the end, so too does Silva’s take on how it all came to be. If you need a good reminder that Christmas begins in the heart, this is your book for the season!
