This book was such a joy. It was a wonderful, more modern (if you can call 1930s modern) take on A Christmas Carol. I appreciated that it had enough uniqueness to it to make it its own. I loved that it had female leads this time around and that we were in 1930s Glasgow.
The main character is a Scrooge; her name is Elspeth Scobie and work is her life. Her new assistant is Ruthie Carol and their story is told over two years. Of course, we also get the perspectives of past, present and future ghosts. Will Elspeth learn her lesson and change her miserly ways after being visited by the ghosts? You’ll have to read the book to find out and I highly recommend you do.
Isn’t Christmas supposed to be a time of family and reflection? This is a wonderful book to remind us of the true spirit of the season the spirits have to remind Elspeth of that. LOL
God bless us, everyone.
