Merry - Susan Breen

Descriere Merry - Susan Breen

A mother's valiant efforts to bring her family the joy of Christmas go haywire when she finds herself haunted by the angry ghost of Charles Dickens. \nThis sparkling, cozy novel is perfect for readers of Emma Straub's This Time Tomorrow and anyone who looks forward to watching It's a Wonderful Life each December! \n \n Merry Bingham used to love Christmas--until she started worrying all the time about family, money, and death. The only thing that continues to bring her joy is reading from her heirloom edition of A Christmas Carol, autographed by Charles Dickens himself and passed down through five generations of her family. Now, as she waits for the results of the medical tests that will tell her whether this Christmas season will be her last, Merry prepares to give her book to the next generation. Except none of her three children wants it. \n \nMerry refuses to surrender Christmas or Dickens without a fight, so she sells the book and uses the money to take her family to London. She will fill them with Christmas joy even if she has to cram it down their throats. \n \nBut the harder Merry pushes, the worse everything gets. Her children erupt into vicious arguments, her gentle husband stops talking to her, her deluxe rental apartment is not what was promised. Oh, and she keeps seeing the ghost of Charles Dickens around town--and he is not happy with her. \n \nFans of family stories, classic literature, and holiday season magic will adore Merry.\n
